Companies Report Offers Insight into the Coatings Market

摘要

It is time once again time for Coatings World's highly anticipated Top Companies Report. This is one of our most popular issues, offering our readers a comprehensive look at the top players in the paint, coatings, adhesives and sealants industry. This year we have profiled 87 companies - up from last year's 83. Comex (ranked 18) is back in the ranking after Sherwin-Williams efforts to buy it were thwarted by regulators in Mexico. Although S-W completed its acquisition of the U.S. and Canadian business of Comex in 2013, paying $90 million, regulators in Mexico refused to clear its buyout of Comex's Mexico operations due to concerns about the combination limiting competition there. Reuters has reported that Comex is currently in the process of suing S-W over the failed buyout.
