About Us
Our History
Over 90 years of leading innovation in factory applied coatings
Since our rich history that began over 90 years ago, we've constantly been on the leading edge of coatings protection through innovative products and application solutions for machine coaters. Our story began in 1925 as the CREO-DIPT Stained Shingles Company, and today, we leverage the power of PPG to connect machine applicators with world-class products, global distribution and local technical support.
