Valspar Opens New Consumer Division Office

Chicago-based office will serve as headquarters for the new PlastiKote brand.

CHICAGO – Valspar has opened a new, expanded office for its consumer division. The new location, at 8725 W. Higgins Road in Chicago, minutes from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, will house the sales and marketing staffs for the new PlastiKote.

“As Valspar and its brands, including the new PlastiKote, continue to grow, it made perfect sense to have one central location to best serve the needs of our distribution and retail customers,” said Lance Bunch, category manager of automotive aftermarkets and industrial distribution MRO for Valspar Corp. “Whether it’s providing top-notch sales service or successful promotional programs, we aim to exceed our customers’ expectations and help them grow their business.  With our entire team under one roof, we are able to work even more effectively on their behalf.”

Valspar relaunched the PlastiKote brand of paint and automotive touch-up products in May. The line consists of enhanced product formulations designed to provide a professional, flawless finish, the company says.

Valspar and PlastiKote will be exhibiting Nov. 2-4 at this year’s Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, in booth #4221.
