Sherwin Williams to introduce the new visualizer platform to its partner network of factory finishers and manufacturers
CALGARY, ALBERTA, August 07, 2018, – Renoworks Software Inc. (TSXV: RW) (“Renoworks”), leading visualization solutions provider to the home remodeling and new home construction industry rolls-out new ColorExpress™ visualizer platform for the Sherwin Williams, (“Sherwin Williams”), a world leading provider of specialty paint and coatings for over 150 years, and its network of manufacturer partners.
The new ColorExpress™ visualizer platform has been developed specifically to address the needs of building product manufacturers who are part of the Sherwin Williams supplier program. This innovative technology allows end-users to mix, match and blend the Sherwin Williams paint catalog with their building products including siding, trim, doors, windows, flooring and cabinetry.

“Our manufacturer partners are some of our most dedicated,” stated Doug Krusenklaus, Industry Director of Building Products, N.A. at Sherwin Williams. “They’ve grown their business alongside us for generations and because of the value they deliver to our end-users every day, it is our responsibility to provide them with the tools necessary to take ownership of the design experience and build even deeper relationships with their end-users. The new visualizer platform with integrated Color Blender from Renoworks gives our manufacturer partners control over not just coating configurations but ability to apply the blends upon thousands of their building products to offer a multitude of combinations to suit every customer’s needs.”
Mr. Krusenklaus continues, “A new Sherwin Williams ColorExpress™ Visualizer Program has been created to provide the platform to our elite factory finishers and manufacturer partners – a suite of solutions that will maximize their customer engagement and provide a more intimate way for end-users to customize their building products with our award-winning coatings.”
