SAINT-GOBAIN ACQUIRES SONEX IN ACOUSTIC CEILINGS IN BRAZIL

Saint-Gobain announces the acquisition of Sonex in Brazil, a company specialized in the manufacture and supply of acoustic ceiling systems, marketed in particular under the Sonex, Nexacustic and Fiberwood brands.

Sonex is based in Diadema in the state of São Paulo and offers innovative high-performance solutions in a wide range of colors, materials and forms, allowing architects and builders to create aesthetically-pleasing and comfortable interior spaces for the end user.

It allows Saint-Gobain to accelerate its development in Brazil, where it has been present since 1937, in a high-potential construction market.
