PPC Labs

PPC Labs, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Permite Corporation, is an independent testing facility servicing the needs of its clients primarily, though not exclusively, related to chemical manufacturing, SIC-2851, and their client base. We started as an integrated arm of the manufacturing facility of Permite Paints until the early 1980's when it was decided to separate the two divisions to be able to reach a broader marketplace.
