Sherwin Williams was founded in the year 1866. The company has been operational for almost 153 years now. The founders of the company were Edward Williams and Henry Sherwin. The company had initially sold pigments and other painting supplies. In the year 1877, the company had developed the first re-sealable paint can.

The company later had acquired several competitors in the early 1900s, including the Martin-Senour Company as well.

In the year 1920, the company had become a limited public entity on the New York Stock Exchange. The company had faced various financial issues in the 1970s but bounced back in the 80s and then had acquired rivals Dutch Boy and Dupli-Color too as well. In the year 2014, the Santa Clara County Superior Court ruled that Sherwin-Williams, along with ConAgra and NL Industries, were jointly and singularly liable to pay for almost more than $1.1 billion, in order to be paid into a lead paint abatement fund, which can be used to remove lead paint from older housing units.

In the year 2007, the company had also introduced its first 'Idea Centre' in Shaker Heights, Ohio, USA, in an effort to provide customers with an interior design environment as contrasted with its leading conventional paint stores instead.
