Market Position/ History |
Saint-Gobain S.A. was founded in 1665 in Paris. In 1920, Saint-Gobain extended its businesses to fibreglass manufacture which was being used to create insulation, industrial textiles, and building reinforcements. In 1968, Boussois-Souchon-Neuvesel, a French industrial group, made a hostile takeover bid for Saint-Gobain. In 1996, Saint-Gobain acquired Poliet along\ with its subsidiaries, Point P and Lapeyre. This acquisition helped the company to expand its product line into construction materials and their distribution. In October 2022, the company's subsidiary, Saint-Gobain Films & Fabrics, underwent a name change and was renamed Saint-Gobain Composite Solutions. In the year 2022, Saint-Gobain Group filed over 450 patents. The company has around 3,500 researchers, eight research and development centers, thematic R&D networks, and nearly 3,600 people working in the marketing sector across the globe. |
