SAINT-GOBAIN REINFORCES ITS building envelope protection OFFER IN THE United states

 

Saint-Gobain has completed the acquisition of International Cellulose Corporation (ICC), a leading manufacturer of specialty insulation in the United States, including spray-on thermal, fireproofing and acoustic finish systems for the US non-residential market.

 

ICC employs approximately 50 employees at its manufacturing site in Houston, Texas, and generated revenues of around $30 million in 2023. ICC's insulation solutions are manufactured with natural, plant-based fibers (primarily cellulose) and high recycled content, containing high levels of sequestered carbon.

 

This acquisition allows Saint-Gobain to complement its offer for building envelope protection including the solutions brought by the acquisition of GCP such as MONOKOTE^® (fireproofing), Ice & Water Shield^® (waterproofing membranes for roofing), and Perm-A-Barrier^® (vapor barriers for siding).    

 

The acquisition of ICC is in line with Saint-Gobain's "Grow & Impact" strategy aiming to both strengthen the Group's leadership and accelerate its growth by enriching its range of solutions for light and sustainable construction.
