Sherwin Williams is the largest multinational company in the world operating in the coatings market, including powder coatings for the industrial market. Since the Protective & Marine Coating Division was not present in the Italian market until April 2016 and the local organization is obviously still small, my responsibilities are quite broad: • Developing long term relationships with major accounts-engineering and oil companies• Achieving project-specific and/or general vendor approval(s) of the companies’ PC products with major engineering and oil companies. • Coordinating and expediting high service levels for major accounts, including frequent visits, quick responses to queries, and providing up to date quality marketing data and technical information• Supporting and assisting the sales department in the introduction of the Sherwin Williams products to the new customers by attending field applications, including trials and reference areas• Inspecting coating applications in Italy and abroad
