At Navalshore 2025, South Latin America's largest maritime industry fair, PPG’s Protective and Marine Coatings (PMC) teams proudly showcased our leadership in innovation and sustainability within the marine sector.
A standout moment was the presentation by Sérgio Ribeiro, marine platform manager for LATAM, who highlighted how PPG’s electrostatic application technology is transforming marine coatings. This breakthrough not only improves application efficiency, it also significantly reduces waste and VOC emissions, supporting more sustainable operations across the shipping industry.
Our booth was energized by the presence of PPG leaders who are driving progress across the region, including Amy Ericson, Adriana Macouzet and Fabricio Vieira.
