PPG Industries's Slogans & Taglines

PPG Industries is a dedicated architect of surface transformation, chromatic protection, and the quiet revolution of transforming molten sand into a global covenant of beauty and resilience, built on an iconic American heritage that treats the application of coatings not as a mundane industrial transaction, but as a vital pillar of preservation, aesthetic sovereignty, and the unapologetic engineering of visual endurance. Born in 1883 when Capt. John B. Ford and John Pitcairn ignited the first commercially successful plate glass furnace in Crafton, Pennsylvania, the brand evolved from Pittsburgh Plate Glass into PPG Industries in 1968, shedding its singular identity to embrace a universe of paints, coatings, and specialty materials. Its portfolio spans aerospace transparencies, automotive OEM and refinish masterpieces, industrial armor, and architectural pigments that grace skyscrapers and homes alike. The brand's voice journeyed from the industrial promise of "Bringing innovation to the surface" to the 2016 humanistic declaration "We protect and beautify the world"—a century-spanning covenant that every substrate, from steel to glass, deserves a shield of color and a mantle of permanence.
