Saint-Gobain to buy GCP Applied Technologies

US: France-based Saint-Gobain has entered into a deal to buy GCP Applied Technologies for around US$2.3bn. It said the move was a ‘decisive’ step in helping it to become a leader in construction chemicals with total sales of over Euro4bn. It is also expected to promote the group’s strategy as leader in light and sustainable construction. Saint-Gobain expects to conclude the deal by 2023 and will finance the acquisition through cash on its balance sheet.

Benoit Bazin, the chief executive officer of Saint-Gobain, said, “The acquisition of GCP is an excellent and significant step for Saint-Gobain to further reinforce its worldwide leadership in construction chemicals and strengthen its geographic presence in North America and emerging markets, both objectives being at the core of our ‘Grow & Impact’ strategic plan.” The proposed purchase follows Saint-Gobain’s acquisition of Chryso, another constructions chemicals company, for Euro1.02bn in October 2021.

GCP Applied Technologies is a global producer of specialty construction chemicals with approximate revenues of US$1.0bn/yr, 50 manufacturing plants in 38 countries and it employs around 1800 employees. It manufactures cement additives, concrete admixtures and products for infrastructure and commercial and residential waterproofing.
