Today, the Saint-Gobain Group develops, produces and distributes functional materials (glass, ceramics, plastics, cast iron etc.) for professional clients in the building and industrial sectors. Saint-Gobain transforms raw materials into advanced solutions for use in our daily lives, while developing tomorrow’s new materials.
