We’re proud to celebrate the successful conclusion of the PPG Master’s Mark® Cup National Vocational Skills Competition for Art Coating Applicators in Shanghai. For the third consecutive year, we served as the exclusive title sponsor and full technical supporter of this premier national competition, bringing together top coating professionals from across China to showcase their expertise, creativity and craftsmanship through both theoretical and hands-on challenges. As the only national-level vocational skills competition dedicated to artistic coating applicators, the event provides an important platform for knowledge sharing, talent development and industry collaboration, helping cultivate the skilled workforce needed to support the next phase of high-quality manufacturing growth. Our Architectural Coatings business supplied all designated paints and on-site technical support throughout the competition. Contestants demonstrated their talents using three flagship products from the PPG Master’s Mark® art paint series, known for their rich colors, diverse textures and low-VOC application properties. “Skilled vocational talent is the cornerstone of China’s manufacturing upgrading and high-quality development,” said Cathy Yan, our general manager, corporate communications and Public Affairs, PPG Asia Pacific. “Staying true to our purpose of protecting and beautifying the world, PPG has long expanded career pathways through university collaborations, scholarship programs, and skills events. Going forward, we will join hands with all partners to further strengthen the talent system and accelerate green innovation across the industry.” Congratulations to all participants and winners whose passion, innovation and dedication continue to help shape the future of the coatings industry. #PPGproud #ProtectandBeautify

We recently completed a Colorful Communities® project in Valenciennes, France, where more than 60 of our volunteers and local partners came together to refresh the infant care center at the Maison de l’Enfance et de la Famille du Valenciennois. Over two days, we helped transform the facility using 200 liters of Seigneurie™ paints by PPG, including Seigneurie Pantex Low-Carbon Velvet. The project also included a custom mural by the artist Camille Fosse, bringing a calming forest-inspired environment to life for children and families. This work supports a center that can accommodate up to 200 children and plays a vital role in the region’s child protection services. Through projects like this, we continue to invest in creating welcoming, functional spaces that promote well-being and development. #ColorfulCommunities #ProtectandBeautify
