Steel Fabricator Training Program

Bringing fabricators and applicators to the next level 

What is the Steel Fabricator Training Program?

Sherwin-Williams understands the importance of maximizing fabrication throughput. Choosing the right coatings to keep your production and operational schedules on time is essential; ensuring the products are applied correctly is critical.

Our Steel Fabricator Program brings your fabrication and coatings facility to the next level. It will increase the knowledge and skillset of your applicators and help you successfully choose and apply coatings.

How It Works

Sherwin-Williams Steel Fabricator Training is a complimentary course offered to fabricators and coating applicators working in the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction industry. Trainings are hosted at your facility. In a classroom environment, we will train your applicators and we’ll walk your shop and look for ways to improve throughput efficiency. 

What you'll get:

  • Increased knowledge of applying coatings
  • Enhanced understanding of best uses for coatings
  • A throughput optimization plan to improve efficiency
