PPG & Iris: from preferred supplier to trusted partnership

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, the professional collaboration with Iris began around the turn of the millennium.

Rooted in sustainability

As a service provider in facility management and industrial coating Iris strives to have the smallest ecological footprint possible. Even long before it became a general trend. That quest put us in touch with Sigma Coatings, producer of sustainable paints and coatings, in the early 2000s. The company grows to become our preferred supplier for beautification projects and industrial paint jobs that minimize human and environmental impact.

From preferred supplier to preferred partners

When Sigma Coatings looks for a partner to maintain its 25 Belgian service centers and its production site in Deurne, that choice is also quickly made. Initially, Iris de daily cleaning of company buildings in hand. In 2008, Sigma Coatings merges into the American multinational PPG Industries and there is a need for broader support. By listening carefully to the client, Iris can perfectly anticipate the new needs of the company, with adapted services and customized solutions.

In addition to its familiar cleaning services, PPG will now call on Iris' integrated service package:

  • Iris Landscaping, from construction to periodic maintenance of green spaces. An undeniable contribution to the positive and green image of the company.
  • Office management of all branches. Total relieve of all kinds of practical and support issues allowing the company to maximize its focus on its core business.
  • Handyman through WeCare, a user-friendly ticketing system that guarantees prompt 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 bearing fruit?

  • More than 20 years of close partnership brought fruitful interaction between the two companies in the areas of innovation and sustainability.
  • Iris is a flexible partner that thinks out of the box. Our services allow us to respond quickly to changing situations, new working methods, more stringent sustainability standards and quality requirements.
  • There is one central point of contact for all services, making appointments and assignments smoother.
  • All service charges are grouped into one clear, transparent invoice. This saves PPG a lot of time-consuming administrative work.
