VHT Now Made By Leading U.S. Paint-maker
|
 The Sherwin-Williams Company has acquired the VHT brand and will be manufacturing VHT paints distributed in Australia by Speco Thomas. SP880 (Rust Treatment) will continue to be manufactured in Australia.
The Sherwin-Williams Company plans to utilize their technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities to further strengthen the VHT brand. Founded in 1866, The Sherwin-Williams Company is a global leader in the manufacture, development and distribution of coatings and related products. It is the third largest manufacturer of paint in the world, and distributes products in over 30 countries.
“VHT has a heritage of exceptional product engineering for extreme applications,” says Chris Prebel, Senior Product Manager at Sherwin-Williams. “Through the years,” he added, “they have developed an enviable brand reputation. We look forward to having this brand within the Sherwin-Williams family. The VHT name and reputation speaks for itself.”
The VHT range of aerosols include Flame Proof Coatings, Engine Enamels and Calliper Paints. For the full range, see the VHT Page. VHT products are retailed through auto parts and speed shops around the country.
Brian Sampson, founder of Speco Thomas, the exclusive Australian distributor of VHT, says, "VHT paints have formed the backbone of our business for four decades, in the main due to the product having set and continued to maintain the industry standard for specialised automotive paints, and we expect this will continue for many years to come. With Sherwin-Williams taking over the operation and employing a strategy of expansion through innovation, we believe that the future of VHT paints as we know them now is extremely bright. Indeed we expect the range will increase and with additional product development, a great product will be even better.” This year Speco celebrates its 40th year as exclusive Australian distributor.
VHT now has a new logo (see above), and the labels on all products have been re-designed. Images of the new labels will appear on this web site soon, together with details of the new VHT products that should be available in Australia by April.
