The Valencia location of PPG Industries has been named as a 2009 Platinum Source Preferred supplier by Northrop Grumman Corp. The Application Support Center supplies Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems facilities in Palmdale and El Segundo with coatings, sealants and custom-packaged third-party chemicals. The preferred supplier status recognizes suppliers for their performance and quality in delivering transparencies, coatings, sealants and other value-added services. PPG Aerospace facilities in Alabama and Georgia also received the status. “Being honored for a job well done is no small matter, especially when that honor comes from a company as prestigious as Northrop Grumman,” said Dave Morris, PPG Aerospace vice president and general manager for the Americas. “We are especially pleased by the continued achievement of our people at the Los Angeles and Atlanta (application support centers) and the award-winning performance of the people at our Huntsville plant.” Mark R.
