Saint-Gobain building materials

Saint-Gobain is one of the world's oldest and most prominent industrial corporations, originally established in 1665 as the Manufacture Royale des Glaces in France. Initially commissioned to produce glass for the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, the company has grown over centuries into a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of materials for construction and industrial markets.

Today, Saint-Gobain operates in over 75 countries, maintaining a vast manufacturing footprint that spans Europe, North America, and Asia. Its product portfolio includes high-performance glass (Saint-Gobain Glass), insulation (Isover), gypsum and plasterboard (Gyproc or CertainTeed), and industrial mortars (Weber).

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., a publicly traded multinational headquartered in Courbevoie, France. The company focuses heavily on sustainable construction and is a major player in the global effort to decarbonize the building industry through innovative material science and building envelope solutions.
