Saint-Gobain:
a world leader
in the habitat and
construction markets
Saint-Gobain is world leader on the habitat market
with the production and distribution of building materials
for use in individual, collective and office buildings.
Its ambition is to invent the homes of the future.
The Group is constantly innovating to create a more
comfortable, more energy-efficient and more sustainable
living environment, all over the world.
Its unique experience has led to high-performance systems
such as insulating materials, low emissivity glass, which
helps to reduce heat loss while allowing rooms to be
warmed by direct sunshine, photovoltaic panels, pipework
for transporting drinking water and rainwater recovery
systems, etc.
Saint-Gobain’s strategy rests on a development model
generating high and balanced growth. This model
is based on three Sectors: Construction Products,
Innovative Materials (Flat Glass and High Performance
Materials) and Building Distribution. In addition
to their growth in emerging countries, each of these
Sectors has its own growth drivers: energy efficiency
for Construction Products; innovation for Innovative
Materials and increasing the density of its network
of sales outlets and the capacity to meet
customers’ every expectation for Building
Distribution.
