PPG and global steel producer Arcelor Mittal are jointly advancing low-carbon automotive manufacturing. A recent study evaluated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across materials and finishing processes. The ZIRCOBOND® pretreatment process is recognised as a benchmark for sustainable surface treatment in automotive production. Cooperation for future-ready solutionsPPG’s automotive OEM coatings expert Thierry Destruhaut described the project as a blueprint for effective collaboration across the value chain. The companies plan to expand their partnership to explore next-generation steel grades, bio-based raw materials, curing technologies and process improvements to further reduce emissions and enhance efficiency.
