RPM International Inc. has announced the opening of RPM Europe S.A., a new European development office that will seek to expand the company's presence in Europe.

The office also will provide a marketing- support function for RPM companies seeking to expand export sales in Europe, and will implement "on a pan-European basis," actions designed to provide cost savings through purchasing leverage and other economies of scale.
