PPG Industries, the world’s second-biggest paint maker, will cut an additional 2,500 jobs to trim costs because of slowing auto and manufacturing sales.

Pittsburgh-based PPG will shut a French facility and other small operations. More plants may be shuttered in the future.

CEO Charles E. Bunch is eliminating more than 8% of the workforce, including the 1,357 jobs cut late last year.
