It’s time again for PCI’s annual ranking of the top 10 global and top 25 paint and coating manufacturers. The ranking is based on 2016 coatings sales. Sales of other noncoating products are not included. I spend months conducting research for this report, using annual reports, websites, press releases and direct contact with companies to compile the information. The biggest news in the industry this year is Sherwin-Williams’ acquisition of Valspar, which closed the beginning of June. If you have any questions, or feel your company should be included in this ranking, please contact parkerpcimag@gmail.com.
Following is a ranking of the top global coatings manufacturers in 2016.
