Comex Group is the fourth largest paint manufacturer and distributor of paints and waterproofing products in North America, with 3,300 locations.

Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW), the largest U.S. paint retailer, agreed in November 2012 to acquire closely held Consorcio Comex SA de CV for about $2.34 billion including debt to gain Mexico’s largest paint maker.[2] This deal has since been terminated by Sherwin-Williams, effective April 4, 2014, and a result of such, PPG Industries has agreed to buy Comex for $2.3 billion [3]
