PPG (NYSE:PPG) and its joint venture Sealants Europe SAS, trading as PPG
Aerospace Sealants Europe, each received a 2016 Best Performer Award
from Airbus, in its Procurement Operations Supply Chain & Quality
Improvement Program (SQIP), as material and parts suppliers.
The PPG and PPG Aerospace Sealants Europe sites in Europe that earned
the awards supply aerospace coatings and sealants to Airbus. Their
selection by Airbus recognizes sustained performance, continuous
improvement and a customer-oriented approach.
Bertrand DʹAnnoville, PPG aerospace quality manager for Europe, the
Middle East and Africa, and Didier Biron, PPG global key account
director - Airbus, accepted the awards for PPG and PPG Aerospace
Sealants Europe during Airbus SQIP Day in Toulouse, France.
“Being named the ‘best performer’ acknowledges the efforts by our
operational teams within our sites to succeed in meeting Airbus
requirements,” Biron said. “Achieving the honor for PPG Aerospace
Sealants Europe during PPG’s first year of involvement in the joint
venture makes it especially meaningful. The recognition for both groups
demonstrates the confidence Airbus has in our people, our products and
our services while strengthening us in our ambitions.”
PPG acquired a majority interest in the sealants and adhesives business
of Le Joint Français in October 2015, which became PPG Aerospace
Sealants Europe.
PPG’s global aerospace business offers coatings, sealants,
transparencies, packaging and application systems, and transparent
armor, as well as chemical management and other services. For more
