Glidden is an American paint brand, manufactured by PPG Industries.
Glidden was purchased by British conglomerate ICI in 1986, which in turn was later acquired by Dutch conglomerate AkzoNobel in 2008. PPG Industries announced an agreement to acquire Glidden from AkzoNobel for $1.05 billion on December 14, 2012. The transaction closed April 1, 2013.[1] Following the deal, PPG will be the second largest paint manufacturer in North America, behind Sherwin-Williams.[2]
