It’s time again for PCI’s annual ranking of the top 10 global and top 25 North American paint and coating manufacturers. The ranking is based on 2017 coatings sales. Sales of other noncoating products are not included. PCI’s Karen Parker spends 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 in 2017 was Sherwin-Williams’ acquisition of Valspar, which closed in June 2017. Also noteworthy were talks of mergers between several top-10 global companies that were eventually abandoned. If you have any questions, or feel your company should be included in this ranking, please contact Karen at parkerpcimag@gmail.com.
Following is a ranking of the top 10 global coatings manufacturers in 2017.
