SAINT-GOBAIN STRENGTHENS ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH EL VOLCAN
IN LATIN AMERICA
Saint-Gobain and the El Volcan group, longstanding partners in
Chile (in fiber cement, mortars, insulation and plasterboard), in
Columbia (in insulation and waterproofing), and in Brazil (in
plasterboard), have signed an agreement covering their operations
in Peru (mortars and plasterboard) and in Argentina (plaster and
plasterboard), together representing approximately EUR60 million in
sales, 6 plants and 450 employees.
This transaction enables Saint-Gobain to strengthen its
partnership with the El Volcan group by extending it into two new
Latin American markets. In each of these countries, the Group will
thus be able to unlock significant synergies, helping to sharpen
its competitive edge and enhance its commercial offer for the
region's construction markets, as it has already successfully done
in Chile, Columbia and Brazil.
In Peru, Saint-Gobain will purchase El Volcan Soluciones
Constructivas (around EUR20 million in sales), a company
specialized in the production and sale of plasterboard. After this
new entity has been merged with SG Productos para la Construccion,
which specializes in the production and sale of mortars and has
been wholly owned by the Saint-Gobain Group since December 2019,
Saint-Gobain will retain a 55% stake in the new consolidated group
and will sell the remaining 45% to the El Volcan group.
In Argentina, El Volcan will purchase from Saint-Gobain a 45%
stake in the group including Tuyango, the historical plaster
business, and Aswell, the plasterboard business acquired in the
first quarter of 2019, with Saint-Gobain owning a 55% stake in this
Argentine gypsum group.
This transaction is not subject to conditions and is expected to
be finalized in January 2021.
