The company's first plant, at Creighton, Pa., near Pittsburgh, was the first commercially successful plate glass factory in the United States. PPG expanded flat glass production operations rapidly during the next decade and a half through new facilities and acquisitions. Diversification began at the end of the 19th century with construction of a plant in Ohio in 1899 to ensure a reliable supply of alkali for glassmaking - the first of PPG's chemicals businesses - and the 1900 acquisition of a paint company that was the foundation of its coatings businesses. In 1902, PPG became one of the first American manufacturing firms to establish European operations. Glass and paint provided continued prosperity to the company in the 1920s as the auto industry and construction of skyscrapers transformed and modernized the American scene. During this period, PPG also increased its commitment to development of technology for improved production efficiency and high product quality and versatility. One early achievement was, in 1924, the first straight-line conveyor method of glass manufacture, which advanced the glass production process much as the assembly line transformed the auto industry. In the decades since, PPG has continued to develop new glass and paint products to meet more demanding market needs, and to expand its array of chemical products. In 1952, recognizing the potential of another type of glass product, the company established its fiber glass business. One of the "miracle" fibers created by laboratory researchers, fiber glass continues to achieve expanding use in a variety of products, and PPG has been in the forefront of product and process development. As a result of its diversification, growth, rapidly developing global presence, and the passing of the old plate process for making glass, the company changed its name to PPG Industries in 1968. Today PPG is a leader in its markets, streamlined and efficient, and on the leading edge of new technologies to provide a growth-focused future worldwide.
