Saint-Gobain Restructures Construction-Chemical Operations in Germany
By Maitane Sardon
Saint-Gobain said it is restructuring its construction-chemical operations in Germany as the company seeks to accelerate growth and strengthen market leadership in the country.
The French construction-materials company said it plans to transfer its Weber dry-mortar business to the Franken Maxit joint venture. The move will make Franken Maxit one of the largest dry-mortar manufacturers in Germany, it said.
The joint venture will have 17 locations in Germany and over 1,200 employees after the transfer, Saint-Gobain said.
The company added that it plans to integrate other construction-chemical brands in Germany as it focuses on technical applications and specialty products.
The transaction is expected to close by end of September 2025, it said.
