Protective & Marine is proud to sponsor the Constructing Mega Facilities: Advances in Planning, Design, and Engineering Summit, taking place from 9th to 10th April 2025 in Houston (Texas, United States of America).
Mark Wafford, Sherwin-Williams Construction Solutions Executive for the semiconductor industry, will present on how high-performance coatings can enhance advanced manufacturing construction by improving safety, efficiency, and simplicity.
“Our high-performance coating solutions are designed to simplify and accelerate mega facility construction. In these facilities, our tailored systems play a critical role in reducing construction timelines and ultimately helping increase a plant’s speed to production.

According to Sherwin-Williams research, 87% of construction leaders cite delays as the most significant challenge in building advanced manufacturing facilities. Wafford’s session will explore strategies to address these obstacles through:
- Enhanced Safety: using shop-applied coatings to support off-site manufacturing and products that align with LEED certification and green building initiatives.
- Accelerated Speed: optimising project sequencing and construction schedules to ensure on-time delivery of critical path items.
- Streamlined Processes: implementing tailored, chemical-resistant coating systems to simplify workflows and improve project outcomes.
“As construction delays become increasingly common, mega facility owners need a construction partner that can make a measurable impact on both safety and efficiency. At Sherwin-Williams, we’ve delivered results for some of the largest manufacturing facilities, significantly streamlining construction processes,” has concluded Mark Wafford.
