PRESS RELEASE
March 3, 2021
Saint-Gobain invests EUR40 million in a new
plasterboard plant in Spain
Saint-Gobain announces the construction of a new plasterboard
manufacturing line in its Quinto plant near Zaragoza, Spain.
This EUR40 million investment will enable the company to expand
its range of high value-added products and construction solutions.
As the leader in gypsum and plasterboard in Spain, Saint-Gobain
will thus be able to capture the growth of the Spanish market and
its rapid shift towards more complex needs, particularly for
lightweight construction systems.
This line will be operational in 2022. It will use the most
recent technologies, permitting a significant reduction in
environmental impacts and the integration of recycled raw
materials. In addition, an ambitious Industry 4.0 program will be
set up to entirely digitalize and automate the management of
production, warehousing, transport and delivery, supporting
Saint-Gobain Placo Spain in further improving its customer
service.
This new production line will create 70 direct jobs and will be
accompanied by a major training campaign in collaboration with the
Government of Aragon, which has declared the project to be of
"regional interest".
Saint-Gobain has been present in Spain for almost 120 years and
employs more than 5,000 people there. The Group has 31 local
plants, serving the construction markets (glass, gypsum,
plasterboard, mortars and construction chemicals, insulation) as
well as industrial markets (automotive glass and abrasives).
