Paint Rollers at the Ready in Rolle!

The beautiful and historic Rolle Castle in Switzerland offered a majestic setting for a very vibrant COLORFUL COMMUNITIES^TM activity this summer!

Our employee volunteers repainted an outer park building in this Swiss heritage site of national significance and adorned it with a mural. Not to mention the fresh coat of paint given to the newly installed playground equipment. They also painted a colorful hopscotch board to a pathway in the park.

The city of Rolle located in the municipality of Rolle of the Canton of Vaud in the south west of the country kindly served as project partner. Here are some amazing stats about the project:

• Around 110 litres (29 gallons) of SEIGNEURIE GAUTHIER® paints were used for the project

• More than 30 PPG employees volunteered

The project saw some amazing support especially from the European Leadership Team! Members of the ELT team who showed up in force include:
