Multimillion pounds boost from Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams, the global paint and coatings company behind such brands as Valspar and Valspar Trade, Ronseal, Ronseal Trade, Geocel, Dow and Thompson, has completed an investment of £10m plus in its Sheffield production facility.
The expansion of the Chapeltown site enables the group to significantly ramp up production of brands currently made at the facility.
The expansion also involves moving paint production from Europe to the UK, with Chapeltown becoming the manufacturing base for all of the company’s brands.
The Chapeltown expansion project is over three years in the making, including 18 months of construction. It includes two new manufacturing lines and one filling line, with more than 20 new jobs created in manufacturing, filling & packing, site logistics and support staff.
Tom Schill, Regional Vice President of Operations EMEAI at Sherwin-Williams, commented: “The state-of-the-art investment in automated production at our Sheffield plant represents Sherwin-Williams’ strong commitment to our customers, to our employees, to our local community, and to the environment.”
The investment will expand the capability of Sherwin-Williams to service supply to the UK and Europe, while helping the company to reduce its carbon footprint by consolidating operations and reducing freight.
