Con mucho orgullo damos la bienvenida a la familia de Sherwin-Williams a una empresa de tanto renombre y a sus empleados".

      Marcos Achar Levy, CEO del Grupo Comex comentó, "Estamos muy contentos y entusiasmados por unirnos al equipo de Sherwin-Williams y tener la posibilidd de ofrecer mayores aportes al éxito continuado de esta empresa en todo el continente Americano.  Hemos respetado a Sherwin-Williams  durante años, y por eso esta unión nos complace mucho.  Comex y sus comprometidos empleados conocen bien a Sherwin-Williams, y confío en que nuestra unión a la familia de Sherwin-Williams traerá un exitoso futuro para nuestros empleados y clientes."
