Saint-Gobain finalizes an acquisition in Mortars in Brazil
Β
Β
Weber Quartzolit, part of Saint-Gobain Mortars, has strengthened its presence in Brazil thanks to the acquisition of Industrial Potengy, a company specializing in tile adhesives with the Fortcola brand and based in the State of Rio Grande do Norte in the north-east of the country.
Β
A leading player on the Brazilian tile adhesives market but without a significant presence in this State to date, Weber Quartzolit will benefit from Industrial Potengy's local industrial and commercial infrastructure in pursuing its development going forward.
Β
This transaction is in line with the Group's strategy to increase the share of its industrial assets located in the US and emerging countries.
