Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings[2], a manufacturer of coil and extrusion metal coatings, has completed a major expansion at its manufacturing plant in Bowling Green, Ky., to align its production with the expected growth trajectory of the metal roofing and construction markets.
“Our Performance Coatings Group continues to invest in advanced technologies that support innovation and long-term partnerships,” said Karl Jorgenrud, president, Sherwin-Williams Performance Coatings Group. “The Bowling Green[3] expansion will strengthen our supply chain resilience and ensure our customers receive high-performance solutions without interruption.”
The company significantly upgraded the 32-year-old facility with state-of-the-art technology, advanced automation, increased batch sizes, and expanded production capacity to meet accelerating demand in the roofing, metal building, and OEM manufacturing markets.
The expansion adds a 60 percent overall increase from 2025 and enables larger batch production. According to a press release, Sherwin-Williams says enhanced automation will also improve formulation accuracy, reduce any defects, increase consistency, and strengthen the plant’s ability to meet lead-time commitments.
“Industry experts predict demand increasing across roofing and siding markets, and this expansion bolsters our ability to deliver our products in less than five days, which is advantageous to our many customers,” said Drew Waldroup, vice president of sales for Sherwin-Williams. “Increased capacity and automation also enhance our reliability, provide greater operational flexibility, and allow us to collaborate seamlessly with other Sherwin-Williams manufacturing sites nationwide.”
The Bowling Green facility manufactures polyester coil coatings (PolyPREMIER) designed for interior and moderate exterior applications such as lighting fixtures, appliances, garage and entry doors, and building products.
