The third supplies coatings for wood and general manufacturing, vehicle repainting, marine and protective uses, metal coil and container coatings, plus resins and colorants, moving these through retailers, dealers, jobbers and licensed partners. Together these businesses reach customers across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
