"This acquisition fits well with our strategy to profitably grow our coatings businesses and continue to expand our presence in emerging regions."

Each plant also serves as a distribution center. The businesses, which employ about 850 people, sell through independent dealers, construction material suppliers and brand licensees, similar to franchise stores.
