C O AT I N G S Washington-based private equity company Carlyle Group. In 1H 2012, DuPont Performance Coatings GmbH, based in Wuppertal, Germany, which is at the core of the OEM coatings operation of DPC, saw its sales rise by 2% to $2.1 bn. Pre-tax operating profit jumped by 30% from $138 M to $179 M. The performance boosted the sales margin from 6.6% in the same period of 2011 to 8.4%, but this remains short of DuPont’s reported target of 11% for its coatings operation. Meanwhile, automobile manufacturers are investing on upgrades of their paint shops as part of efforts to reduce production costs. The paint shops are being modernized to reduce energy consumption and make them more eco efficient.
