The Sherwin-Williams Company has been named the recipient of the inaugural Community Impact Award from the Rotary Club of Cleveland. The award recognizes a company, organization or person that has made a significant impact on the city of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
Sherwin-Williams has maintained a strong presence in Northeast Ohio since 1866 and is close to completing construction of its new headquarters building just west of Public Square in downtown Cleveland. The company had been located in the nearby Landmark Office Towers for nearly 100 years, but was faced with the challenge of expanding and modernizing in order to serve its customers and support its employees. Despite considering a number of communities across the country, Sherwin-Williams made the decision to remain in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
The headquarters campus, totaling one million square feet, consists of three buildings: a two-story pavilion acting as the front porch to Public Square, a 36-floor office tower and an attached multi-level parking garage. Sherwin-Williams also built the Morikis Global Technology Center in Brecksville which is responsible for product development, coatings research, color technology and process engineering. The 600,000 square-foot facility will help create and retain employment opportunities for chemists, engineers and technicians.
Representatives of Sherwin-Williams will accept the Community Impact Award from Rotary Club of Cleveland on Thursday, November 13th during a luncheon presentation at 12:00 noon in the Bridgeview Room at Windows on the River, 2000 Sycamore Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44113.
