In re Construction Flat Glass Antitrust Litigation
PPG Industries, Inc.
Winston & Strawn continues to represent PPG Industries in a series of antitrust class actions pending in the Western District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs, who allege that they are direct purchasers of construction flat glass, contend that the defendants conspired to fix energy surcharges and prices for construction flat glass during the time period between July 1, 2002 and December 31, 2006. Construction flat glass is used as a raw material in windows for residential and commercial construction. The putative action seeks damages that, with trebling, could total in the hundreds of million of dollars.
