Read MoreHide Full Article
PPG Industries’ (PPG - Free Report) WinLogic intelligent window systems is undergoing flight test for amended and supplemental type certificates from the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). The patented cockpit window systems offer protection from electrical fault that may lead to the failure of the window.
WinLogic intelligent window systems have already received Technical Standard Order authorization from the FAA to TSO-C178 and European Technical Standard Order authorization from the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”) to ETSO-C178.
PPG Industries’ WinLogic intelligent window systems have been designed with a sensor. It helps to detect major arcing and prevent the system from heating. This in turn prevents the windows from breaking. This will help the pilot to safely land the aircraft, and the window can be replaced without causing a flight delay or cancellation.
The sensing device is mounted on the window during assembly and the data stored in it can be easily downloaded by a USB port. The small size of the sensor assembly enables engineers to incorporate it into any PPG cockpit window design.
PPG Industries has outperformed the Zacks categorized Chemicals-Diversified industry over the past three months. The company’s shares have moved up around 8.3% over this period, compared with roughly 4% gain recorded by the industry.
The company has a diversified business, both in terms of products offered and geographical presence. The company’s strong presence in emerging regions has enabled it to deliver growth to shareholders by tapping opportunities there. PPG Industries is also taking initiatives to expand its business through acquisitions.
PPG Industries has announced certain restructuring measures to lower its cost structure globally. Special emphasis will be put on regions and end-use markets with the weakest business. The restructuring actions are expected to deliver $120–$130 million in annual savings, with $40–$50 million of savings expected to be realized in 2017.
PPG Industries is however, exposed to unfavorable currency exchange translation. The company also continues to face macroeconomic challenges. The company’s operating results are also exposed to the cost of raw materials and energy.
Before looking into the stocks mentioned above, you may want to get a head start on potential tech IPOs that are popping up on Zacks' radar. Imagine being in the first wave of investors to jump on a company with almost unlimited growth potential? This Special Report gives you the current scoop on 5 that may go public at any time.
