PPG’s Temple Paint and Coatings Plant to Host Community Event on National Manufacturing Day

PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced it will host an informational community event on Oct. 6 at its Temple plant to mark National Manufacturing Day. This initiative is organized by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to address the skilled labor shortage, connect with future generations of manufacturers and ensure ongoing success for the manufacturing industry.

PPG’s event will enable the company to interact with and give back to the community, showcase what it does, and demonstrate the importance of manufacturing and the opportunities it presents. Attendees will tour the manufacturing and research and development facility, and view a demonstration of how PPG makes its products. The Temple plant employs about 60 people and manufactures a variety of adhesives, caulks and sealants, including the LIQUID NAILS® brand.

“We actively engage with the community because we want students and community members to understand what PPG does and the opportunities that are available to them through our company,” said Luis Santiago, PPG plant manager, Temple.
