Sherwin-Williams: Expansion of Sheffield paint production facility
The expansion of the Chapeltown site in Sheffield represents an investment of approximately EUR 11,4 million by Sherwin-Williams and is enabling the group to significantly ramp up the production of brands currently made at the facility.
The expansion also involves moving paint production from Europe to the UK. The Chapeltown expansion project is over three years in the making, including 18 months of construction. It includes two new manufacturing lines and one filling line, with more than 20 new jobs created in manufacturing, filling & packing, site logistics and support staff.
Reducing the carbon footprint
The investment is intended to expand the capability of Sherwin-Williams to service supply to the UK and Europe, while helping the company to reduce its carbon footprint by consolidating operations and reducing freight. Tom Schill, Regional Vice President of Operations EMEAI at Sherwin-Williams, commented: “The state-of-the-art investment in automated production at our Sheffield plant represents Sherwin-Williams’ strong commitment to our customers, to our employees, to our local community, and to the environment.”
