We are responsible for numerous industry firsts. Between the first resealable paint can patented in 1877 and the debut of the Twist & Pour TM container, Sherwin-Williams material and chemical inventions have revolutionized the coatings industry. The original fireplace mantle from Henry Sherwin’s office, all of the individual tiles from the hearth and the chameleon lamp that sat on Henry Sherwin’s desk in the 1880s, are proudly displayed. Sherwin-Williams has been granted more than 600 patents over the years – the numbers of each are etched in plexiglass display panels. 15 CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
