Pittsburgh paint company announces layoffs
PPG – a global manufacturer of paints, coatings, and specialty materials–will reportedly lay off almost 2,000 workers as part of cutting operation costs and selling a portion of its architectural business.
The cuts will impact about 1,800 positions, primarily in the U.S. and Europe, according to the initial statement made by PPG, which didn't disclose when the layoffs would occur. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company said it's part of “a comprehensive cost reduction program focused on reducing structural costs primarily in Europe and in certain other global businesses, along with other corporate costs.” The program also includes various facility closures.
