Coatings World - July 2016

Renner Sayerlack S.A. manufactures and distributes wood finishing 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 $132 million 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.

Rock Paint is among the leading manufacturers of automotive refinish paints in Japan. These include brands such as its Panarock Mars 2K series, Rockace and Hirock. Rock Paint has recently introduced a one-package type basecoat called Pro Touch. Responding to movements aiming to reduce levels of VOCs in paint products, Rock Paint set out early to develop waterborne automotive refinish paints. The company introduced New HIROCK series, which is for commercial vehicle. In order to meet the market requirement to reduce levels of VOCs, Rock Paint has continuously developed waterborne Automotive Refinish Paints, which is new generation “NEO WATERWASE.” The company established a new plant in Indonesia in 2013, where it is manufacturing adhesives and paints.
