Renner Sayerlack S.A. manufactures and distributes wood fin- ishing and marine coatings and paints. It is the largest and most specialized wood coating company in Latin America. Formerly known as Sayerlack, it changed its name to Renner Sayerlack S.A. in January 2001 after the merger of Tintas Renner and Sayerlack Industria Brasileira de Vernizes.

The company was founded in 1968 and is based in Cajamar, Brazil. With sales estimated in the $225 mn range, Renner Sayerlack claims to control approximately 50 percent of the Brazilian wood finishing market, as the largest player in the segment in Latin America. The company’s primary wood finishes manufacturing facility is in Cajamar, Sao Paulo state, and it operates another in Minerbio, Italy.

Founded in 1936, Tambour is the largest Israeli paint manu- facturer. The firm operates six production facilities in Israel for architectural paints, industrial paints, powder coatings, printing inks, acrylic emulsion, resins and other coatings. Production capacity is approximately 90 million liters per year. Tambour said it has been watching trends not only for color forecasting, but also for the research and development of new paint products, especially in the category of faux finishes and special effects. In light of the success of this methodology in the decorative market, Tambour decided to introduce it to the industrial market as well and created a unique cooperation with Klil Industries—the leading company in Israel for Aluminum framings. Tambour’s revenue for 2012 was $223 mn.
