Sherwin-Williams Brings Together Becker Acroma And Sayerlack In Ireland

Becker Acroma and Sayerlack have formally announced their integration into The Sherwin-Williams Company.

As the world's third largest paint & coatings company, Sherwin-Williams has brought together more than 200 years experience in industrial wood finishes with the acquisitions of Sayerlack and Becker Acroma. The company now provides an even fuller technology range of wood-coatings products plus is introducing Sherwin-Williams metal & plastics coatings into Ireland. Dave Wright, Managing Director of Sherwin-Williams Product Finishes for the UK & Ireland, said: "Bringing together these great brands under the Sherwin-Williams banner means that we can offer our customers an even fuller technical range product offering."


This also reaffirms the company's commitment to growing globally through organic expansion teamed with value-adding acquisitions.

Mr. Wright continued: "We are now able to match great local service with the global resource support of a coatings major to give an unparalleled offer in Ireland. We have a large local technical team, quick turn-around mixing & colour-matching services and regional inventory holdings, backed by more than 150 people in Europe working on wood coatings research alone. As a company, Sherwin-Williams spends in excess of $100 million per annum on R&D ensuring that our customers benefit from the latest innovative technical developments."

With extensive on-site technical consultations, colour and design support, Sherwin-Williams delivers the full complement of products and services to industrial finishers.
