The Sherwin-Williams Company recently hosted the grand opening of the company’s news global headquarters in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. 

“This grand opening marks a defining moment in the company’s 160-year history,” says Heidi Petz, Sherwin-Williams chair, president and chief executive officer. “Our new global headquarters is a strategic investment in our people, our customers and our hometown. It reflects who we are today and how we intend to lead in the future. Most importantly, it strengthens how we support the teams closest to our customers, every day and in every market.”

The new 1,000,000 square-foot campus, part of the company’s Building Our Future project, includes a two-story pavilion welcome center, a 36-floor office tower and an attached multilevel parking garage.

“Sherwin-Williams is a longtime Ohio company with deep roots in the community, and their decision to remain and grow here reflects a strong commitment to northeast Ohio,” says Ohio governor Mike DeWine. “This project demonstrates the power of public-private partnership to attract talent to Ohio, encourage future investment and have meaningful economic impact.”

In addition to DeWine and Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb, Sherwin-Williams was honored to have additional public dignitaries provide remarks in person or via video at the ceremony. They included U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, U.S. Senator Jon Husted, U.S. Representative Shontel Brown, Ohio State Senator Nickie Antonio, Ohio State Representative Terrence Upchurch, Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne, Cleveland City Council President Blaine Griffin and Cleveland City Councilwoman Stephanie Howse-Jones.

“Cleveland continues to strengthen its position as a city of choice, and the Sherwin-Williams global headquarters is a key investment in our downtown and our future,” Bibb says. “This partnership reflects the collaboration necessary to spur job creation, support local business and energize our urban core.”
