PPG Industries is an international leader in superior paints and coatings.
The company produces high-quality products for surface protection, finishing and beautification with a focus on innovation and sustainability. This strong commitment has made the company the preferred partner of customers in the construction, consumer goods, industrial and transportation markets for decades. Similarly, professional collaboration with Iris began at the turn of the millennium.
Rooted in sustainability
As a service provider in facility management and industrial coating, Iris strives to keep its ecological footprint as small as possible. Even long before it became a general trend. That quest put us in contact with Sigma Coatings, a manufacturer of sustainable paints and coatings, in the early 2000s. The company grew to become our preferred supplier for beautification projects and industrial painting jobs that minimize the impact on people and the environment.
From preferred supplier to preferred partners
When Sigma Coatings was looking for a partner to maintain its 25 Belgian service centers and its production site in Deurne, the choice was quickly made. Initially, Iris took over the daily cleaning of the company buildings. In 2008, Sigma Coatings became part of the American multinational PPG Industries and there was a need for broader support. By listening carefully to the customer, Iris was able to anticipate the new needs of the company, providing adapted services and tailor-made solutions.
In addition to the familiar cleaning services, PPG now also calls on the integrated service package of Iris:
- Iris Landscaping, from construction to periodic maintenance of green spaces. An unmistakable contribution to the positive and green image of the company.
- Office management of all branch offices. Total relief from all kinds of practical and supportive issues so that the company can focus on its core activities.
- Handyman via WeCare, a user-friendly ticketing system that guarantees quick intervention by our professional handyman service.
In 2019, Iris will win a tender round that will make us PPG’s preferred partner for Belgium, the Netherlands and France. This will further strengthen the partnership between the two companies.
How is this collaboration paying off?
- More than 20 years of close partnership brought about a fruitful interaction between the two companies in the field of innovation and sustainability.
- Iris is a flexible partner that thinks out of the box. Our services enable us to respond quickly to changing situations, new working methods, stricter sustainability standards and quality requirements.
- There is one central point of contact for all services, which makes appointments and assignments run more smoothly.
- All service costs are grouped in one clear, transparent invoice. This saves PPG a great deal of time-consuming administrative work.
