PPG has partnered with SARO/Siccardi, Italy’s largest powder coatings distributor, to enhance its distribution network and customer access to products.
The collaboration leverages PPG’s global expertise and SARO/Siccardi’s market reach, focusing on tailored solutions and sustainability.
This aligns with PPG’s goal of achieving 50 per cent sustainable sales by 2030.
“Entering a partnership with a customer-focused and respected leader like SARO/Siccardi will accelerate powder growth for PPG,” said Gianfranco Corvi, PPG market manager Italy, Industrial Coatings. “It will leverage PPG’s status as a global leader in powder coating technologies and SARO/Siccardi’s market knowledge and strong presence to provide customers in the region with optimal product protection and an efficient powder buying experience.”
Under the partnership, PPG and SARO/Siccardi will work closely with customers to gain a better understanding of their unique requirements and provide tailored solutions, technical support and competitive pricing.

Since 2019, PPG has focused on growing its powder coating business through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, investments in research and development and capital improvements that expand production capacity globally to meet rising demand for more sustainable manufacturing solutions. Powder coatings are generally formulated without solvents that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and overspray can be reclaimed and reused. Powder coating technologies are an important part of PPG’s efforts to achieve 50% of sales from sustainably advantaged products and processes by 2030.
