Limited Synergies
■
Commentary
▪ Some procurement synergies but a separation would
create two independent businesses with sufficient scale
so likely no material impact
■
Limited technology overlap between architectural and
industrial chemicals; architectural coatings are less R&D
intensive
■
▪ Paint stores, home improvement centers vs. OEMs and
industrial distributors
No shared distribution
Distinct brands with separate identities
Ability to leverage some administrative overhead
While PPG has built one of the largest coatings companies in the world, in part through M&A,
the current portfolio is comprised of at least 12 underlying businesses with disparate market
dynamics. We believe there are virtually no synergies between Architectural and Industrial
coatings
