PPG takes over Ducol Coatings

In June, New York stock exchange-listed PPG Industries
announced that it had acquired Krugersdorp based Ducol
Coatings, an importer and distributor of PPG’s automotive
refinish products in the SA market since 2003.
Formed in 1990, Ducol Coatings has operations in both SA
and Namibia. As John Outcalt, PPG VP, Automotive Refinish
explains: “PPG now will be able to directly serve customers
in the region with our high-quality, innovative automotive refinish
products and our customer service, technical support
and training programmes.”
He said that it will continue to use the Ducol brand, as well
as Ducol Coatings’ former franchisee and distributor network,
giving it access to a solid, proven distribution network
in the growing South African and surrounding markets.
