**PPG 裁員1,800人並出售塗料業務以削減成本**

PPG工業公司宣布將在美國和歐洲裁減1,800名員工,並關閉部分工廠,作為其削減成本計劃的一部分。該計劃旨在降低歐洲和其他全球業務的結構成本,以及削減最近出售兩個業務後的其他公司開支。

這家公司在週三公布的第三季度利潤未達華爾街預期,並宣布將以約5.5億美元的價格,將其在美國和加拿大的建築塗料業務出售給私募股權公司American Industrial Partners。PPG的建築塗料業務包括Dulux、Glidden、Olympic和Liquid Nails等品牌,預計交易將於2024年底或2025年初完成。

在今年8月,該公司還宣布將以3.1億美元的價格將其二氧化矽產品業務出售給波蘭化學公司Qemetica,預計該交易將於2024年第四季度完成。

PPG首席執行官Tim Knavish在聲明中表示,“這些決定是必要的,以調整我們的固定成本基礎,並在這兩次業務剝離後調整我們的公司規模。”這些交易是今年早些時候宣布的戰略審查的一部分。

PPG預計,當成本削減計劃全面實施後,將實現每年約1.75億美元的稅前節省,其中2025年將節省6,000萬美元。公司表示,將在第四季度記錄2.5億美元的稅前費用。

**編者評論:**

PPG這次大規模的裁員和業務出售顯示出公司在面對挑戰時的決心和策略調整的必要性。從財務角度來看,這些舉措無疑是為了減少支出和提升效率,尤其是在市場表現不佳的背景下。然而,這種大規模的變動也反映出公司在應對市場變化和競爭壓力方面的挑戰。

從長遠來看,這些決定是否能真正提升PPG的市場競爭力和財務穩定性,仍需拭目以待。特別是,裁員和業務剝離可能會對公司的運營和員工士氣產生一定的影響。對於投資者來說,這些變動帶來的風險和機遇都是值得關注的。

PPG的舉措也給其他同類公司敲響了警鐘,如何在市場波動中保持競爭力和財務健康,將是未來企業管理層需要持續關注的課題。在這個過程中,企業需要平衡短期成本削減和長期發展之間的關係,才能在激烈的市場競爭中立於不敗之地。

A striking black-and-white cinematic photograph of a mysterious woman standing calm and composed in the center of a dense crowd of paparazzi, dozens of photographers surrounding her, all aiming vintage cameras with flashes raised. The woman wears dark sunglasses, minimal makeup, and an elegant dark outfit, her expression emotionless and powerful, symbolizing isolation amid fame. High contrast lighting, dramatic shadows, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the central subject, blurred foreground faces and cameras, classic film grain, 35mm analog photography style, noir aesthetic, timeless Hollywood atmosphere, intense realism, editorial fashion photography, moody, iconic, award-winning composition. [Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A striking, high-fashion editorial portrait of a white -skinned model, captured outdoors with a bright, sunny, slightly hazy ambiance reminiscent of the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Model and Styling
• Model: A female model with elegant features and dark, curly hair, posed looking over her shoulder towards the camera. Her expression is confident and alluring.
• Outfit: She is wearing a two-piece outfit (or a playsuit/romper) entirely covered in black and white polka dots.
• Top: A loose, long-sleeved shirt, worn off one shoulder, showcasing the neckline. The polka dots on the shirt appear slightly smaller and more uniform.
• Bottom: Matching shorts or a skirt with a tight, fitted silhouette, emphasizing her figure. The polka dots here appear slightly denser.
• Hat: A defining accessory—a dramatically oversized sun hat with a wide, floppy brim. The crown is white, and the large, voluminous brim is patterned with large black and white polka dots, cascading down. A black fabric tie/ribbon is visible around the crown.
• Accessories: Large, circular or crescent-shaped gold earrings dangle from her ears.
Lighting and Setting
• Lighting: Natural, bright, direct sunlight creating a warm, sun-kissed, and slightly nostalgic aesthetic. The overall color palette leans towards desaturated pastels and warm creamy whites.
• Setting: She is positioned on a rooftop, terrace, or balcony, with a hazy, mountainous or coastal landscape visible in the blurred background. The background is predominantly soft blues and pale purples, suggesting a distant view over a city or ocean.
• Composition: A vertical, full-body to three-quarter shot. The model is the central focus, framed against the soft background.
