After five decades of operation in the local market, paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams West Indies Limited is looking to further expand, with plans well advanced to add its 24th store some time later this year.
During a factory tour and 50th anniversary logo unveiling at its White Marl plant in St Catherine on Wednesday, District Manager Kenneth Richardson, though mum on the details of the expansion, touted it as a multimillion-dollar project that will further help the 50-year-old establishment to grow in a market occupied by other players, such as Berger, BH, and Edgechem.
“The new store will be announced soon, it is a DIY [do-it-yourself] store for our customers with capital investment involving multiple millions and of which we are hoping to have open by early last quarter of this year,” he said in an interview with the Jamaica Observer.
The store will also see the company increasing its staff count which now stands at approximately 280.
