PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that it was recognized on Fortune magazine’s “America’s Most Innovative Companies” list. PPG ranked No. 194 overall and No. 49 in the product category. Product innovation includes the evaluation of a company’s products and services, covering attractiveness, design to usability and uniqueness. The total score was derived from an analysis of the company’s intellectual property portfolio and the opinion of experts, customers and potential customers.

“With more than 1,320 granted U.S. patents and 41% of sales from sustainably advantaged solutions, we view innovation as the lifeblood of our growth strategy,” said David Bem, PPG senior vice president and chief technology officer. “We are constantly evaluating the needs of our customers and developing industry-leading innovations that support their sustainability and productivity ambitions.”

To determine the list, rankings firm Statista compiled a list of more than 10,000 companies and deployed online survey panels where employees could score their own company. In total, over 40,000 people participated. A panel of 2,500 experts evaluated the three key dimensions of innovation, and experts including recruiters, management consultants and patent attorneys were invited to provide their opinion. In total, more than 8,000 evaluations were collected through these channels. The 300 companies with the best overall score were listed.
