A Touch of Class: Sico Celebrates 75th Anniversary by Brightening Up Schools Across the Country
 Leading Canadian paint brand Sico® is receiving top marks from schools across Canada for a unique donation it is making in honour of its 75th anniversary.Sico® paint is delivering 750 gallons of paint to bring to life the walls of gymnasiums, lunchrooms, hallways and auditoriums at 75 elementary and high schools across the country. It’s all part of a goodwill gesture to give back to the community and thank Canadians from coast-to-coast for their support in Sico paint’s growth over the years, said Dominique Pépin, North American brand marketing director of AkzoNobel, manufacturer of Sico paints. Known for its rich colour offerings, "Sico® paint is all about using colour to bring renewal into people’s surroundings, which studies show has a huge impact on how people feel," Pépin explained, adding that when the company was created 75 years ago, the most popular paint colour was white, so décor has come a long way since then. "What better place to infuse colour than in schools, to help stimulate creativity and passion among our leaders of tomorrow?" Established in the midst of the Great Depression in 1937 as a two-person venture in Quebec, Sico® paint today is a leader in the Canadian paint industry, with retailers across the country. It was the first brand to introduce pearl, platinum and melamine paint finishes as well as Cashmere, a gloss-free washable paint that uses highly-durable thermoplastic beads – a major breakthrough in paint technology. Today, Sico paint remains at the forefront of environmentally-friendly offerings and new product innovations.
