It’s been said that
hitting a major league
fastball is the most difficult
feat in all of
sports. It requires
superior hand-eye
coordination, the ability to make split-second
decisions and above all, the nerve to stay in
the batter’s box. In short, it demands a unique
set of skills.
As the industrial coatings contractor selected
to repaint US Cellular Field, home of baseball’s
Chicago White Sox, Ascher Brothers Co. Inc.
had to exhibit similarly unique skills. By carefully
examining the original coatings specifications,
they convinced the project managers to rewrite
the specs to ensure a longer lasting, more successful
coatings application. It meant that
Ascher Brother’s earned another opportunity to
hit a home run, which they did (page 18).
At Sherwin-Williams, we understand that
an industrial coatings supplier must possess
the unique capabilities that your particular
project demands.
In some cases, it’s our national distribution
system that positions us as the ideal coatings
supplier. For example, Brooklyn Iron Works is
a Washington steel fabricator that has seen its
shop painting volume triple over recent years.
Because much of its finished steel is shipped to
Hawaii, they require a local, on-site product
and service presence (page 12).
In other cases, it’s a matter of logistics.
Water/wastewater giant US Filter turns nearly
$4 billion in annual revenues. Having a
national agreement with a single-source supplier
capable of servicing the needs of such a large
company has enabled them to streamline their
purchasing procedures and standardize specifications
at manufacturing centers throughout
North America (page 4).
Whether your project can benefit from our
distribution network, logistics strength, bid
and specification help, or simply the finest
industrial and marine coatings products available,
Sherwin-Williams is uniquely qualified to
be your solutions-based partner.
