Lowe's Awards Valspar For Breakthrough Innovation

CHICAGO, Nov. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Valspar, the nation's most widely distributed paint brand, has received an Innovative Partner of the Year Award from Lowe's for its introduction of super premium Valspar Reserve® paint. The line of ultra durable interior and exterior paint and primers has proven to be a standout in the category. Lowe's annually recognizes a select group of vendor partners who've set the bar highest in pioneering products that help consumers realize their home improvement goals. Valspar Reserve was selected for its revolutionary combination of delivering the ultimate in color and performance through Valspar's new, advanced HydroChroma coloring system. 

Valspar, the nation's most widely distributed paint brand, has received an Innovative Partner of the Year Award from Lowe's for its introduction of super premium Valspar Reserve® paint.

"We are thrilled to be recognized by Lowe's as we continue to expand our vision through new cutting-edge products like Valspar Reserve," said Heidi Petz, vice president of marketing at Valspar. "Durability, performance and quality are the pillars of our product development process. We're continually driven to create the most advanced, best-in-class paint products in the market, and Reserve is proof of that."

The interior and exterior paint collection, which was rolled out in May with three sheens, offers customers an exceptionally high caliber of color accuracy while maintaining zero VOC and low odor characteristics, a feature that spurred Lowe's to upgrade its tinting technology in stores nationwide to Valspar's exclusive HydroChroma platform. According to Petz, the instantaneous sales success has already led to two line extensions – Valspar Reserve Ceiling Paint, a fifth wall solution that can be found in stores now, and the designer-coveted eggshell finish which will be available March 2015
