PPG is investing $70 million to expand its aerospace transparencies site in Huntsville. The investment is part of a series of multi-year projects that will support the increased production capacity of the company’s aerospace transparencies business.
“Demand for aerospace transparencies continues to grow across commercial, military and general aviation markets,” said Francois Buehlmann, PPG general manager, global transparencies, aerospace. “This expansion increases our operational efficiency, provides room for future equipment investments and reinforces our long-term commitment to serving customers and investing in Huntsville.”
The company will lease and build out a new 112,000-square-foot facility to house production support functions, enabling additional manufacturing space at its existing aerospace transparencies facility.
The company has operated its aerospace transparencies manufacturing facility in Huntsville for more than 55 years, supplying transparencies for aircraft cockpit windows and passenger windows.
The company also supplies coatings, sealants and engineered materials to commercial, regional, general aviation and military customers worldwide.
