Once again, Coatings World brings the industry our Top Companies Report – the only truly global ranking of the top manufacturers of paints and coatings. Our editorial staff has spent many hours researching the industry to provide you with the most accurate ranking of paint and coatings manufacturers operating in the global industry. Rankings are based on annual sales in U.S. dollars. For companies based outside the U.S., sales are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates from the company’s  fiscal closing date. For privately held companies who choose not to disclose sales  figures, our staff interviews different industry sources, coupled with our own research to come up with an accurate estimate of annual sales. We profiled 84 companies in this report. All have sales of $100 million or more annually. Companies marked with an asterisk in the ranking on the following page represent Coatings World estimate. Bold companies are those making their  first appearance as a Top Company. This year you may notice that certain companies have moved up the ranking significantly. This change in ranking is reflective of us making the decision to remove adhesives manufacturers from the report. H.B. Fuller, Henkel, Lord, Sika and 3M have been omitted. This year we have three new companies added to the list: two from China and one from the U.S.

The Top Companies Report is intended to provide our readers with a snapshot of the industry’s most influential players. We hope you will come away with a clearer insight into the future of this truly global and always evolving industry. If you are a paint and coatings manufacturer with sales of $100 million or more for  fiscal 2016 and would like to be included in our Top Companies Report, contact me and I will add your company to the online version.
