Renner Sayerlack S.A. manufactures and distributes wood finishing and marine coatings and paints. It is the largest and most specialized wood coating company in Latin America. Formerly known as Sayerlack, it changed its name to Renner Sayerlack S.A. in January 2001 after the merger of Tintas Renner and Sayerlack Industria Brasileira de Vernizes. The company was founded in 1968 and is based in Cajamar, Brazil. With sales estimated in the $225 million range, Renner Sayerlack claims to control about 50 percent of the Brazilian wood finishing market, as the largest player in the segment in Latin America. The company’s primary wood finishes manufacturing facility is in Cajamar, Sao Paulo state, and it operates another in Minerbio, Italy. In 2007 PPG acquired the architectural and industrial coatings business of Renner Sayerlack.
