Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 26, 2009 - Premier Precision Group announced today its plan to consolidate all of its operating companies' legacy brands under the PPG umbrella. PPG’s strategy is to leverage the PPG brand across the entire enterprise while maintaining a connection to the legacy brand via its facility naming convention. “We want to communicate to our customers that we are one company with multiple facilities, offering a broad range of capability, but at the same time, acknowledge the value and familiarity the legacy brands offer our customers”, said PPG’s President, Kevin Matkin. Effective August 2009, Premier Precision Group will begin transitioning each of its operating facilities to the new brand with completion expected prior to the end of the year.
