Ohio Governor Mike DeWine last week attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Sherwin-Williams’ new global headquarters in downtown Cleveland. Founded in Cleveland in 1866, this year marks the company's 160th anniversary.
"Sherwin-Williams has called Northeast Ohio home for 160 years, and today is a celebration of their longtime commitment to Ohio," said Governor DeWine. "The new, state-of-the-art headquarters will continue to attract talent to Ohio, encourage our best and brightest students to stay in Ohio after graduation, and drive future development in Cleveland."
JobsOhio committed $37.5 million for the new one-million-square-foot campus, which includes a two-story welcome center pavilion, a 36-story office tower, and an attached multi-level parking garage. The office tower will house more than 3,000 employees. As part of the company's Building Our Future project, Sherwin-Williams also completed the Global Research and Development Center in Brecksville, Ohio, which began receiving its 900 employees in September 2025. Sherwin-Williams employs more than 6,500 Ohioans.
JobsOhio helps ensure a robust talent pipeline for STEM and technical positions at Sherwin-Williams through the “Create Your Possible: Sherwin-Williams Career Accelerator” at Baldwin Wallace University. This program supports full-time sophomores, juniors, and seniors in related majors such as STEM and business through networking, mentorship, internship opportunities, and direct full-time hiring opportunities with the company after graduation.
