The building products team for PPG Industries’ industrial coatings business received a Strategic Supplier Award for the second consecutive year during the recent Andersen Corporation Dealer Rally. PPG was among an exclusive group of six Strategic Suppliers invited by Andersen to participate in the annual Dealer Rally.

Brian Knapp, PPG segment manager, industrial coil and building products, said PPG was proud to receive the award. “For more than 50 years, PPG has supplied coatings to Andersen and its supply-chain partners. Our relationship has never been stronger, and we look forward to helping Andersen deliver on the high standards associated with its brand promise for the next 50 years.”

Holly Boehne, chief technology officer, Andersen Corporation, said, “We’re excited to have PPG as one of our Strategic Suppliers. They are a true partner in every sense of the word.”

PPG supplies FLEXACRON® high-performance, solvent-based wood coating systems for use on Andersen’s high-end A-Series and best-selling 400 Series window and doors.

The Andersen Dealer Rally included 150 national dealers, 200-plus members of the Andersen sales force, the Andersen executive team and business managers. As a Strategic Supplier, PPG was given the opportunity to educate attendees directly about the value of PPG coatings and how they help Andersen expand its marketing presence and product offerings.
