ABI Research ranked Vuforia first in the innovation category due to PTC’s expansive customer and partner footprint, its advancements in transformative technology and functionality, and the company’s robust digital thread capability.

PPG invests in testing line for radiation-curable coatings at Marly, France20.4.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release
PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the installation of an advanced testing line for radiation-curable coatings at its R&D Center of Excellence in Marly, France. The line can test multiple curing technologies, including infrared (IR), ultraviolet (LED, excimer and arc lamps), and electron beam (EB). This investment allows the company to accurately replicate customer production conditions, helping accelerate development cycles and reduce the number of customer trials. Unlike conventional thermal curing, radiation curing requires less energy because it operates at or near ambient temperature. This reduction in energy demand can significantly lower carbon emissions by 65%*, with further gains possible when powered by renewable energy sources. In addition, UV- and EB-curable systems typically use 100% solids formulations with no solvents, reducing or eliminating volatile organic compound emissions. Beyond sustainability advantages, UV- and EB-based technologies deliver significant productivity
