SAINT-GOBAIN SELLS K PAR K IN FRANCE

Saint-Gobain has completed the sale of K par K to two of its managers. The business specializes mainly in the door-to-door sale of customized woodwork and windows on the French market.

This activity, unique within Saint-Gobain, had limited synergies with the rest of the group.

K par K generated a turnover of around EUR130 million in 2018 and employs nearly 1,000 people.

This transaction marks the continuation of Saint-Gobain's portfolio optimization strategy within the framework of the new organization, beyond the objective of more than EUR3 billion in sales already reached, to grow our growth and profitability profile. Divestments completed or signed as of today represent over EUR3.1 billion in sales.
