PPG works with non-profit organizations to provide employment opportunities

On August 5, PPG announced that its Indianapolis aerospace application support center (ASC) is working with the non-profit organization Bosma enterprises to provide employment opportunities for the blind or the visually impaired. ASC extends light assembly work to non-profit organizations, and Bosma employees use PPG designed rails and tools to assemble and package small parts for mixing Aerospace sealants. "PPG is committed to hiring people of all abilities, an arrangement that allows us to connect with a strong but often undervalued segment of the local workforce," said Connie Poulsen, business manager, Indianapolis aerospace company, PPG. "We are confident in the ability of Bosma enterprise team to help us assemble the mixer. We are also happy to support Bosma's mission to make the lives of blind people different. " "We are very pleased to work with a reputable company that provides industry-leading products to the market while working with the community," said Jeff mittman, President and CEO of Bosma "We use our experience in light industry to meet the needs of the PPG supply chain to create jobs for the blind or the visually impaired. This allows us to continue our efforts to combat the unemployment rate of 70 per cent of the visually impaired. "

PPG ASC's maintenance team has developed a method for Bosma employees to ensure that their assembly work is accurate. Before using the insertion tool to complete the assembly, they can use a guide to check that the length of the mixer components is correct. A table lets them know that each bag contains the correct number of assembly mixers. PPG ASC is one of 16 such centers located in major aerospace fields around the world, providing global capabilities and local support. PPG's global aerospace business provides coatings, sealants, transparencies, packaging and application systems, transparent armor, and chemical management and other services.
