Company increases sales and service focus on Asia and Pacific Rim.

ANDOVER, KS – Sherwin-Williams Aerospace has expanded its global presence to meet increasing demand in Asia and the Pacific Rim by adding new authorized distributors in China and Australia.

The new distributors include Shen Zhen Lubair Aerospace Co. Ltd., with two locations in Shen Zhen, China, and Pacific Dynamics in Artarmon, New South Wales, Australia. These new authorized distributors join established distributors in Brazil, United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico, creating a significant international presence for Sherwin-Williams in the aerospace industry.

"Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings is dedicated to expanding the global presence of its quality aircraft finishing products and knowledgeable service partners," says J. Marc Taylor, director of sales for Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings. "Lubair is one of largest suppliers of specialized aviation products in China and Southeast Asia. Pacific Dynamics has long history of supplying the aircraft servicing market. For these new distributors, adding Sherwin-Williams Aerospace coatings to their offerings is a natural fit – particularly as we move deeper into the global commercial aviation market."

In 2008, Sherwin-Williams received SAE International's Aerospace Material Specification 3095 (AMS 3095) for Airline Exterior Systems, for its Jet Glo Express system bringing its complete coating systems to the commercial aerospace MRO market.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings distributors offer Sherwin-Williams' entire range of aerospace products – Jet Glo, Acry Glo, Jet Glo Express and Jet Flex, a complete line of conventional and high-solids primers for any aviation application, and its latest product introduction, Fill Bond aerospace putty. Its distributors also provide such value added services as custom-tint orders and just-in-time inventory for time-critical applications.
