PPG Industries, an Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) member, will invest more than $280 million to expand its Delaware, Ohio manufacturing operations, adding a 100,000-square-foot advanced facility dedicated to automotive OEM coatings production.

The project is expected to create 100 new full-time jobs and builds on PPG’s longstanding presence in Delaware, where the company employs approximately 450 people. Construction is expected to begin later this year, with operations projected to launch in 2028.

“PPG is doubling down on Ohio,” said OMA President Ryan Augsburger. “When a global manufacturer makes an investment at this scale, it speaks volumes about the strength of our workforce, our supply chain and our manufacturing base.” 3/3/2026
