The American Multinational Strengthens Its Presence in the Country Even Further with the Acquisition of the Iconic Suvinil Brand

The American multinational Sherwin-Williams announced on Monday (17) the acquisition of the architectural paint division of Basf in Brazil, including the iconic Suvinil brand, for an impressive R$ 6.6 billion (US$ 1.15 billion). The deal will be carried out entirely in cash and marks a significant strategic operation in the sector, according to the Invest News website.

What Is Behind This Sale?

✅ Global Restructuring of Basf: The divestment of Suvinil is part of the “Winning Ways” strategy, which aims to focus on the company’s core businesses.
✅ Strengthening of Sherwin-Williams: The acquisition positions the American giant as one of the absolute leaders in the Brazilian decorative paint market.
✅ Powerful Revenue: The acquired businesses, including the Glasu! brand, generated a net revenue of US$ 525 million in the last year.

A Brand with History and Prestige

Suvinil was founded in 1961, initially focused on the automotive sector, but soon expanded into real estate paints, becoming synonymous with quality in Brazil. Since 1969, the brand has belonged to Basf, operating two large factories in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Jaboatão dos Guararapes (PE), with around 1,000 employees.
