Scotframe acquired by French group Saint-Gobain
Terry Murden, Editor | November 14, 2017

Scotframe

Company continues with same management

Housing kit builder Scotframe Timber Engineering has been acquired by French construction group Saint-Gobain.

The deal will accelerate Saint Gobain’s involvement in the offsite manufacturing and closed panel construction market.

Scotframe, which is headquartered in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, has more than 160 employees and reported sales last year of £30 million. It is known for providing modular housing and closed panel systems.

It provides full timber frame housing kits for small and medium sized builders, developers, and self-builders throughout the UK.

Bob Edwards, managing director of Scotframe said: “This is an exciting time for Scotframe and for all our dedicated colleagues. Having established the business 28 years ago the sale of Scotframe is a tremendous milestone in our evolution.

“I am delighted that we will be beginning this new chapter as part of the Saint-Gobain group, a tremendous company with a fantastic reputation and great strength.”




The Saint-Gobain Group, established in north east France in 1655, was the first enterprise to produce glass on an industrial scale and has since spread across the globe. It now has a strong presence in Scotland, and helped build the recently completed Queensferry Crossing, the longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world.

Mr Edwards said: “I will continue to run Scotframe and for our customers nothing will change – we continue to operate business as usual. For our colleagues who make our business such a success this is a terrific opportunity to be part of a global group with 18,000 colleagues in the UK alone and a culture of valuing personal development and growth – so many new opportunities for our business.”

Mike Newnham, chief executive of Saint-Gobain Building and Distribution in UK and Ireland said: “I am delighted that the founder and MD of Scotframe, Bob Edwards, will continue as managing director following this acquisition, so Scotframe will continue business as usual, serving customers and manufacturing high-quality products.”

Saint-Gobain operates in 67 countries, and has more than 170,000 employees, including 18,000 in the UK and Ireland. The company recorded more than €39.1 billion in sales last year.

(Boursier.com) - In a study published on Monday, Bryan Garnier reaffirms his optimistic vision on the Saint-Gobain file, a title that the broker always advises to buy by aiming at 53 euros, ie a potential of appreciation of a dozen percent. The research bureau bases its positive opinion on the trends at work in the main markets of the group of building materials, rather encouraging: "compared to last year, the management is more confident about the market dynamics of the main countries which the group is exposed, "says Bryan Garnier following a meeting with the CFO. Regarding commodity inflation, even if the broker is aware of the short-term challenge for Saint-Gobai, he considers the tricolor well armed to cushion this shock from next year, thanks to its pricing power ".

-DOW JONES) - Saint-Gobain (SGO.FR) is likely to see its results rebound in France, analysts say Bryan, Garnier & Co. They raise their target price for the 6 %, at 53 euros, following the Orptimist declarations of the CEO of the building materials group, Pierre-André de Chalendar, in an interview given to the daily Les Echos. The manager noted that the volume of business activity in France remains 20% lower than the peak reached in 2007, despite the improvement in the economy, which leaves room for improvement. The recovery begun in France last year in the main building, thanks to new housing, has translated very clearly in the second work for a few months, underlines Pierre-André de Chalendar, who also notes a shudder in the renovation. The Saint-Gobain share declined by 0.6% to € 49.85.

- Barclays has made its recommendations
companies in the construction materials sector, after
have adopted a somewhat divergent view of the general perception
on the development of this sub-fund. For analysts Nabil Ahmed and
Pierre Rousseau, two main themes are emerging.
First, a US market that remains interesting, in particular
since the post-election euphoria of Donald Trump has settled down.
Second, emerging markets are still difficult due to
the stacking of capacities.

PUBLICITY

the
United States, the first half was disappointing in terms of
performance, but this phenomenon has several explanations,
the basis of high comparison, complicated climatic conditions and
partial freezing of federal investments. These elements, coupled with
weakness of the dollar and a political status quo, led to a
flat-out expectations after the euphoria of Trump's election.
From now on, the basis of comparison is easier, the
orders have been packed in recent months and prices have
good. Hurricane Harvey could have a negative effect on the third
quarter, but in any case reconstructions will be
necessary in the coming months or even in the next few quarters.
The other major theme is fragmentation in emerging markets and
the multiplication of capacity, which has adverse effects on prices
markets, some of which are strategic for
European players.

In this context, Barclays notes its recommendation on HeidelbergCement

By entering more

Synthesis

The company has solid fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a mix of growth, profitability, debt and lower visibility.
The company presents an attractive fundamental situation for short-term investment.


Strong points

The stock is evolving near its long-term support in weekly data, located at EUR 44.37, thus offering a good timing of intervention.
Prices are close to daily data support at around 45.39 EUR, thus giving a good timing of intervention.
Analysts' forecasts of business development are relatively close. This is the result either of a good visibility linked to the activity of the group, or of a good communication of the company with the analysts.
The company is among the weakest in value. The ratio of "business value to turnover" is 0.75 for the year 2017.
Investors seeking performance will find this a major investment.
Over the past year, analysts covering the issue have revised upwards their expectations of earnings per share.
Analysts are positive about the stock. The average consensus recommends buying or overweighting the value.
The average price objective of analysts based on value is relatively remote and implies considerable potential for appreciation.
The stock follows a positive trend over the long term above the support level of EUR 44.37.


Weak points

With a relatively low expected growth, the Group is not one of the companies with the highest potential for revenue growth.

Saint-Gobain adapts its governance following the partial withdrawal of wendel

Following the sale of Saint-Gobain shares announced by Wendel on June 2, in accordance with the existing governance agreements, the representation of Wendel at Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors shall be reduced to one single Director, designated by Wendel to be Mr. Frédéric Lemoine.

At its meeting of June 5, Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors resolved, at the proposal of the Nomination, Remuneration and Governance Committee, to maintain at the agenda of the General Shareholders' Meeting of June 8, 2017, the proposal to renew Mr. Gilles Schnepp's term of office as Director. The Board considers that Mr. Gilles Schnepp, who has previously represented Wendel would, in case of approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting, qualify as an Independent Director.

Indeed, the Board of Directors considered that Mr. Gilles Schnepp has an extensive knowledge of the Saint-Gobain Group and brings a highly valuable contribution to the Board's activities, in particular thanks to his experience as an executive officer of a major listed international group, his knowledge of the industrial sector and his expertise in terms of strategy, management and finance.

It also noted that Mr. Gilles Schnepp has no particular bonds of interest with Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, including through Wendel that he no longer represents. Mr. Gilles Schnepp is indeed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Legrand, which Wendel no longer controls since 2011 and from which Wendel completely withdrew 4 years ago.

Shareholders who already cast their vote on the resolution at stake may, if they wish, amend their vote until Wednesday, June 7, at 7:00 p.m. (Paris time) (see document entitled << Exceptional procedure to amend vote cast >> on Saint-Gobain's website:

(Boursier.com) - Bryan Garnier's team of analysts publishes a study on Saint-Gobain in which it is "neutral" to "buy" its opinion, while bringing its target price to 55 euros ( 46 euros previously). The financial intermediary justifies this change of decision by a more optimistic view of the Group's volumes and operating margins over the next three years, with forecasts above consensus of 2%, 7% and 12% respectively for 2017, 2018 and 2019. For Bryan Garnier, the group of building materials enjoys better visibility in France, a country that accounts for a quarter of revenues. Political risk has diminished and could even disappear if Emmanuel Macron wins the legislative elections of 11 and 18 June. More fundamentally, the research office sees favorable prospects in the construction markets in Europe (61% of sales), which should enable Saint-Gobain to recover a (good) part of the land lost since 2007, ie 15% More volumes.
