Sherwin-Williams Paints and Coatings

Founded in 1866 by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams in Cleveland, Ohio, Sherwin-Williams has grown from a local paint partnership into one of the largest global leaders in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of paints and coatings. The brand is famously credited with inventing the first resealable paint can and the first successful emulsion paint.

Today, the company operates an extensive network of thousands of company-operated stores and various manufacturing facilities across the globe. While the bulk of its R&D and production remains centered in North America, its acquisition of Valspar in 2017 significantly expanded its international manufacturing footprint. The brand remains a quintessential American industrial pillar, maintaining its headquarters in Cleveland for over 150 years while serving professional, industrial, and retail markets worldwide.
