The French building materials group Saint-Gobain will invest more than $ 400 million to increase its production capacity in the United States, he said in a statement on Wednesday.
The investment, spread over four years, will involve four "key production sites" in California and the southeast of the country, which produce roofing, insulation and plasterboard.
“The cumulative investments will reduce waste by more than 50% and CO2 emissions by more than 20% compared to existing technologies,” underlines Saint-Gobain.
They are part of the new strategic plan "Grow & Impact" and "aim both to strengthen the leadership of the group in North America and to accelerate its growth in the region", by completing the range of lightweight construction which accounts for 45% of construction product sales in North America.
In March, Saint-Gobain announced a sustainable energy purchase agreement for a period of 12 years with Invenergy in the United States, aimed at enabling the group to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
