SAINT-GOBAIN TO INVEST EUR120 MILLION
IN NEW GLASS WOOL PRODUCTION CAPACITY IN FRANCE
Saint-Gobain, through its insulation subsidiary ISOVER, will
invest EUR120 million in the coming years, starting in 2022, to
increase its insulation production capacity in France and support
the acceleration of the energy renovation market.
These investments will involve both increasing the capacity of
existing ISOVER production lines and creating a new line. Today,
ISOVER has three glass wool plants in France, located in
Chalon-sur-Saône, Chemillé and Orange. By 2025, in response to very
strong demand driven by energy renovation, Saint-Gobain will bring
to the French market more than 70,000 additional tons of glass wool
insulation (including 11,000 tons as early as 2023), which will
enable the equivalent of 100,000 additional homes to be renovated
each year.
Of the EUR120 million, EUR20 million will be specifically
dedicated to the decarbonization of production and the development
of the circular economy. This will enable the installation of a
treatment unit for deconstruction waste to be reincorporated into
the production process as a substitute for virgin raw materials,
and an increase in the proportion of recycled glass used in the
production process to 80% by 2025.
These new investments are fully in line with the "Grow &
Impact" strategic plan, which aims to reinforce Saint-Gobain's
positioning as the worldwide leader in light and sustainable
construction and to offer its customers comprehensive solutions
that deliver sustainability and performance. In France,
Saint-Gobain is the leader in the energy renovation market thanks
to its ISOVER, Placo(R) , Saint-Gobain Glass, Weber brands and its
strong distribution network.
The Group has a unique and dense presence across the entire
value chain in France: from the manufacture of sustainable
solutions to their distribution - in stores offering advice,
training, digital services, and logistics or recycling solutions to
our hundreds of thousands of trade professional customers, as well
as on e-commerce platforms or our site offering inspiration and
intermediation, La Maison Saint-Gobain. Worldwide, the solutions
sold by the Group in one year avoid the emission of approximately
1,300 million tons of CO(2) during their lifetime, which is more
than 40 times the Group's total carbon footprint.
