First to develop a reliable ready-mixed paint. Introduced to the market in 1875, ready-mixed paint revolutionized the paint industry and soon became the industry standard. With more than 3,887 neighborhood stores in North America, the company is dedicated to supporting the do-it-yourself consumer with exceptional products; resources to make confident color selections; and expert, personalized service. Sherwin-Williams brand-name products can only be found at SherwinWilliams stores. In 2007, the company introduced its first “Idea Center” in an effort to provide customers with an interior design environment. Founded by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams in Cleveland,Ohio in 1866, the company operates through four segments: Paint Stores (known as Sherwin-Williams Stores), Diversified Brands, Automotive Finishes, and Chemical Coatings. In 1877, Sherwin-Williams & Company developed the first patented reclosable paint can. This revolutionized the way paint could be used, and more importantly, reused over a period of time. Kem-Tone, the first emulsion-based, fast-drying paint for the do-it-yourself market was introduced in 1941 and met with remarkable success. The company introduced the Roller-Koater, the first applicator that was not a brush and was later developed and refined into the paint roller commonly used today. Sherwin-Williams is the parent company of other brands such as Duron, M.A.B. Paints, Minwax, Krylon, Mautz Paint Co., Purdy, Bestt Liebco, Thompson’s WaterSeal, H&C,Cuprinol, Pratt & Lambert, Martin Senour, Dutch Boy, Easy Living, Weatherbeater.
