"Crown enables us to provide manufacturers in Asia with local supply of the high-quality coatings that customers have come to expect from PPG," said J. Rich Alexander, senior vice president, coatings. "It also enables us to grow our presence in the global wood coatings business, where our technology is considered the industry leader."

Employing approximately 40 people, Crown operates facilities in Singapore and Shanghai, China.
