PPG  announced today that a phased rollout of PPG LINQ ™ - the pioneering, new, seamless digital solution for customers in the vehicle repair industry - will begin worldwide.

Using its broad, cross-industry expertise as the world's leading provider of automotive coatings and digital color matching technologies, PPG developed an industry-leading connectivity platform designed to optimize all aspects of the customer experience, partner relationships and repair shop operations.

The first set of PPG LINQ technologies and services will be launched in early 2022 as part of a multi-year rollout. The PPG MOONWALK ™ system, the award-winning automated paint mixing system for the repair shop, is the first of numerous customer-centric innovations in the environment of PPG's digital ecosystem based on PPG LINQ . The industry-leading system is best known for its extreme colorimetric precision, significant economic benefits, and increased productivity.

"Customers are demanding simple, seamless digital interactions, and advances in connectivity, automation and artificial intelligence have fundamentally changed the way we do business."

Repair shop customers can streamline the entire repair process with the cloud-based PPG LINQ platform and its networked digital hardware and software, as well as innovative services. This in turn leads to more uniform and less expensive results. The PPG LINQ platform also gives customers the ability to improve the sustainability of their day-to-day business operations and minimize the impact on the environment with features that optimize product consumption and reduce waste . In addition, the PPG offers LINQPlatform also includes seamless digital tools designed to increase throughput and improve profitability by reducing human error and increasing efficiency throughout the repair process.

PPG designed the PPG LINQ platform specifically with a view to directly connecting repair facilities and key industry participants, such as distributors, manufacturers, insurers and end users, in order to go beyond the workshop environment. The platform's streamlined workshop procedures and communication tools enable better relationships with partner sales and customers as well as increased transparency with aftermarket partners to enable informed decision-making and expanded business opportunities.
