PPG has announced that PPG Kansai Automotive Finishes (PKAF), its joint venture with Kansai Paint, has received the Nissan 2016 Regional Monozukuri Spirit Award from Nissan Group of North America.
PKAF was one of four suppliers and the only coatings company, to earn the honour based on 2015 fiscal-year performance during the regional carmaker’s annual supplier conference last month in Franklin, Tennessee. The award recognises suppliers for their exceptional use of philosophies and processes related to ‘Monozukuri’ – Nissan’s collaborative strategy of working closely with suppliers to increase quality and reduce cost through continuous improvement. PKAF provides vehicle coatings, adhesives and sealants to all Nissan plants in North America.
