PPG invests in testing line for radiation-curable coatings at Marly, France20.4.2026 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
Installation helps accelerate development cycles, reduce number of customer trials PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the installation of an advanced testing line for radiation-curable coatings at its R&D Center of Excellence in Marly, France.
