Directors of PPG Industries have elected Hugh Grant a member of the company's board, effective. He is chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Monsanto Company, a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products that improve farm productivity and food quality.

Grant was named executive vice president and chief operating officer of the current Monsanto Company at the time of an initial public offering in 2000 and for the subsequent spin-off in 2002. He was named to his current position in May 2003.

Born in Larkhall, Scotland, Grant earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural zoology with honors at Glasgow University.
