Saint-Gobain Expands in Construction Chemicals in New Markets

Saint-Gobain is enhancing its footprint in the construction chemicals sector by entering the Dominican Republic and reinforcing its presence in the Benelux region. The company has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Morteros de Europa, a key player in construction chemicals in the Dominican Republic, with revenues approaching €30 million in 2025. This marks Saint-Gobain's entrance into the Caribbean market, aiming for a broader deployment of its sustainable construction solutions.

Concurrently, Saint-Gobain is set to acquire Grouttech, which includes Grout Techniek B.V. in the Netherlands and Belgium. Grouttech offers specialized solutions in construction chemicals, such as concrete repair and technical flooring, boosting Saint-Gobain's presence in the infrastructure sector in Benelux.

These strategic acquisitions align with Saint-Gobain's "Lead & Grow" plan, targeting leadership in emerging markets and infrastructure growth. Both transactions are expected to conclude in the first half of 2026, pending necessary approvals.
