The latest version is ready and live online. Click here to review the latest Top Companies list!
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 78 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’s estimate. Bold companies are those making their first appearance as a Top Company. Six companies have been removed from the list this year. Dunn Edwards, Helios and Valspar due to acquisitions; Boero (less than $100 in revenue) and Mido and Pachin (due to the devaluation of Egypt’s currency). This year we have two new companies added to the list: both from Germany.
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 2017 and would like to be included in our Top Companies Report, contact me and I will add your company to the online version.
