Our annual report profiling the top paint, coatings, adhesives and sealants companies in the world.
The Big Get
Bigger in a Year of
Ups and Downs
Welcome to
Coatings
World's 2001
Top Companies
Report, our annual
profile of the
leading paint,
coatings, adhesives
and sealants
companies in the
world. This
year's report
profiles 52 coatings
companies with
annual sales of more
than $100 million,
plus a handful of
firms to keep an eye
on as they grow
their operations in
this competitive
market.
As a number of you
can attest, 2000 was
an up-and-down year
for many of the
firms listed here.
Some companies
reported declining
sales, others saw
their sales rise. A
main trend, of
course, is that the
big keep getting
bigger-14 companies
topped the billion
dollar mark in this
year's report.
Furthermore,
consolidation that
spread like wildfire
through the industry
has-for the time
being-slowed as more
companies look to
identify core
businesses and sound
strategies.
Our ranking is
based on annual
sales of paint,
coatings, adhesives
and sealants. For
companies based
outside the U.S.,
sales are translated
into U.S. dollars
using the
company's
year-end closing
date.
