Compagnie de Saint-Gobain — M&A Activity 2022

May 12, 2022

Saint-Gobain has entered into binding agreements for the sale of International Decorative Surfaces (IDS), its specialist flooring, worktop and laminate distributor in the UK to Chiltern Capital. IDS employs 500 people and has 17 distribution hubs and makeover centers, generating a turnover of approximately €130 million in 2021.

In addition, Saint-Gobain has also reached binding agreements for the divestment of two UK Glass processing facilities specialized in the manufacturing of double-glazed units. The two sites in Motherwell, Scotland and Canterbury together generated sales of approximatively €20 million in 2021, and employ around 80 people.

Completion of these divestments is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and marks the exit of Saint-Gobain from all specialist UK distribution brands.

These transactions are part of Saint-Gobain's continued business profile optimization strategy, consistent with the "Grow & Impact" plan objectives.
