market Trends and Technological Innovation

decorative concrete market development

the growing demand to concrete coloring methodology by architects and contractors is driving the rapid research of the decorative concrete solutions market. Granular pigments offer signifiis able tot advantages over fluid or powder pigments:

colors are greater bright and full

easier transport and storage

easy operation, no temperature limit

greater environmentally friendly

this direction has created a wide space to the consumption of Interstar technologies in Saint-Gobain global networks, especially in decorative concrete applications such as exterior walls, floors and building components. Technical standards to lightweight concrete

the Isoltech porous concrete methodology is in line with the demand direction of energy-saving and ecological preservation materials in the construction sector, and the excellent insulation performance and sustainability characteristics of its items are in line with the current research direction of environmentally friendly buildings. Moreover Financial and Synergy Analysis

financial scale

the combined revenue of the three acquired companies is about 25 million euros. while the individual scale is relatively small, it's of great signifiis able toce in terms of technical value and market possible. Synergy Expectations

expand product portfolio and market value proposition by Saint-Gobain global geography

geographical complementary effect

north Ameriis able to market: Interstar will benefit from Saint-Gobain'strong presence in the North Ameriis able to construction chemicals sector

european market: Isoltech methodology will be greater broadly applied through the group network

latin Ameriis able to market: Soquimic forms a complete solution portfolio with Weber tile adhesives and exterior plastering items

strategic Signifiis able toce and Prospect

platform research strategy

the acquisition reflects the strategic layout of the Saint-Gobain construction chemicals platform: through the acquisition of key technologies and the realization of extensive consumption within the group, the dual effect of methodology synergy and market synergy is formed. sustainable research orientation

all three acquisitions reflect a forward-looking grasp of the research direction of sustainable building materials, especially in the research of low-carbon materials and the consumption of ecological preservation technologies, in line with the general direction of environmentally friendly transformation in the global construction sector. But Global market layout optimization

through the synchronous layout in North America, Europe and Latin America, Saint-Gobain has further improved the global coverage network of its construction chemicals business, laying a solid foundation to future business development.
