PPG, PILKINGTON SETTLE 
GLASS TECHNOLOGY DISPUTE 
 
PITTSBURGH, April 4 -- PPG Industries announced today it and  
Pilkington plc of England have agreed to settle all claims between  
the companies relating to glass technology. 
	  Both companies have agreed to dismiss all actions on the basis  
of no finding of fault on either side.  Under terms of the settlement,  
Pilkington will pay PPG $50 million, being reimbursement of $36 million  
paid by PPG to Pilkington after an earlier litigation and a contribution   
toward balancing of legal costs. 
	  PPG had alleged violations of United States antitrust laws by  
Pilkington with respect to float glass production technology and  
sales.  Pilkington had alleged violations by PPG of certain licensing   
arrangements for glass technology. 
	  The settlement eliminates all claims between the companies  
concerning float-process technology for making flat glass.  Each  
party also agreed generally that it would file no future claims  
against the other, or their subsidiaries or licensees, relating to  
float glass technology. 
	  Guy A. Zoghby, PPG senior vice president and general counsel,  
said "the settlement ends a long series of disputes with Pilkington  
and confirms PPG's worldwide freedom to use and license float glass  
technology."
