IBIS Partner in the Spotlight: PPG

The International Bodyshop Industry Symposium (IBIS) is delighted to shine the spotlight on its Palme d’Argent (silver) partner PPG, with which it is collaborating on the preparations for IBISTV Global Summit to be streamed live over the internet on 17 December 2020.

With a 130-year heritage as a global leader in paints and coatings, PPG is a true innovator with many industry firsts to its name. It developed the world’s first low-VOC waterborne paint system and marked the introduction of nanotechnology into the refinish industry. PPG also developed the first UV Speed Primer plus the world’s first primer to use recycled PET plastic flakes as a raw material.

Most recently, PPG continued to build on its legacy of innovation with the launch of the inventive paint mixing solution, MOONWALK, which helps bodyshops to reduce product waste, save productive labour time and transform the mixing room into a cleaner, safer and more attractive environment.

Both PPG and IBIS are actively embracing the new digital era. For IBIS, it has been a move to deliver its regional conferences and Global Summit online using the latest tools and techniques in creating the end-to-end conference experience in a virtual environment.

For PPG, it is about offering digital tools to improve the efficiency of bodyshop operations. PPG’s digital tools simplify stock management and allow bodyshops to control their performance with dynamic dashboards to track their main key performance indicators.

Another key point of commonality between the two partners is their continuing and relentless focus on training and performance. Collaborating with its global skills partner WorldSkills, IBIS supports and highlights initiatives across our industry to promote career and skills development.

Meanwhile, for more than three decades, PPG’s MVP Business Solutions has been delivering a comprehensive set of training, tools and services to improve the performance of thousands of bodyshops all around the world.
