The Wigan / UK plant of PPG Industries (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania / USA; www.ppg.com) is to cease manufacture of chopped-strand glass fibre mat and concentrate on production of single-end, direct-draw rovings for the European market.

The restructuring will include investment of USD 5m in automated manufacturing and the loss of 100 jobs. Chopped-strand mat production is being moved to the plant of PPG Sinoma Jin Jing Fiber Glass Zibo in Zibo / China.
