Saint-Gobain finalizes an acquisition in Mortars in Brazil

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.

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.

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.
