Center to train more than 300 professionals annually
PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced it has opened a new
300-square-meter training center for automotive refinish
professionals in Pillar, Argentina. The company expects to train
more than 300 refinish technicians at the state-of-the-art facility
annually, with 100 professionals receiving training through the end
of 2017.
PPG experts will train technicians from Argentina, Chile and
Uruguay on all of PPG’s automotive refinish product lines and color
modules, as well as application techniques. The new facility
expands PPG’s training resources in southern Latin America, adding
to the automotive refinish training center it currently operates in
Sumaré, Brazil.
“The new training center strengthens PPG’s commitment to
developing the workforce and automotive refinish industry of
southern Latin America,” said Fabrício Vieira, PPG commercial and
marketing director, automotive refinish, southern Latin America
region. “This facility ensures PPG experts and refinish technicians
have access to the most advanced tools and training, which
ultimately ensure customer satisfaction. We are very proud to open
this world-class facility for the region’s automotive refinish
industry.”
The new center will help further establish PPG’s stringent
quality standards in the region and facilitate deployment of the
three pillars that guide the company’s automotive refinish business
globally: innovative technology pipeline, increased technical
know-how and excellent brand experience.
"The inauguration of the training center in Argentina symbolizes
PPG’s belief in the potential of Latin America as a whole,” said
Andres Nitti, PPG business development supervisor, automotive
refinish, Argentina. “With this strategic investment, we are
continuing our objective of raising the level of the region’s
refinish market even further.”
