PPG Commercial Coatings will once again exhibit its advanced coating products at the upcoming NationalAssociation of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) and National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) annual trade events. The NATM national convention and show is scheduled for Feb. 12-13 in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The NTEA event, “The Work Truck Show,” will take place in Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Convention Center March 4-6.

The NATM represents manufacturers of light- and medium-duty trailers as well as suppliers of products and services to those manufacturers. The organization was established to help improve trailer safety and performance and provide a voice for trailer manufacturers and their suppliers when issues of trailer safety and regulation arise. This will be the NATM’s 27th annual convention. The PPG booth, number 413, will present PPG’s latest coating technologies.

PPG became an NATM member in 1999. Since joining, PPG has worked closely with the organization and its members, helping them meet evolving manufacturing requirements with a variety of advanced PPG coating products that provide superior durability, efficiency and versatility. PPG initiated convention sponsorship in 2003.

PPG and NATM are co-sponsors of the Green Manufacturing Award. The annual prize honors the NATM member that has developed the top manufacturing solution or innovation that affects the environment in a positive way. The 2015 winner will be announced at the show.

As with the NATM, PPG has a strong relationship with the NTEA and its members. The NTEA show is considered the work truck industry’s most important annual event, an opportune time to learn about new products, technological developments and services as well as key issues facing the industry. The PPG NTEA display, booth 4374, will emphasize PPG’s ongoing product development and offerings for the trucking industry.

The NTEA represents approximately 1,600 companies that manufacture, distribute, install, sell and repair commercial trucks, truck bodies, truck equipment, trailers and accessories. Buyers of work trucks and major commercial truck chassis manufacturers are also members. The organization provides technical information and educational programs and services for members.

PPG Commercial Coatings representatives will be at both events to present a variety of products and applications.
