The event included an exhibition highlighting Sherwin-Williams coatings technologies and applications across industrial manufacturing, new energy, transportation, construction, furniture and packaging markets.
Sherwin-Williams also illuminated Shanghai’s Citigroup Tower with a 160th-anniversary display as part of the celebration.
