02 December 2024

 

SAINT-GOBAIN FURTHER REINFORCES ITS LEADERSHIP IN LIGHT AND SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION IN TURKEY WITH AN ACQUISITION IN INSULATION and the opening of a new construction chemicals plant

İzocam, a leading insulation manufacturer in Turkey co-owned by Saint-Gobain and Alghanim Industries (Kutayba Alghanim Group), has completed the acquisition of 100% of His Yalıtım, a local producer of stone wool. The company operates in Kayseri (Central Anatolia) and employs about 170 people.

This acquisition enhances İzocam's presence in Turkey, where it has four existing plants manufacturing high-quality insulation solutions.

Saint-Gobain has been present in Turkey since 1998 and currently operates 22 plants and employs around 2,000 people in the country. This acquisition reinforces Saint-Gobain's positioning in light and sustainable construction in Turkey where it has leadership positions in insulation, plaster and plasterboard, and construction chemicals, where it inaugurated its 11^th Weber or Chryso plant last week.

The acquisition of His Yalıtım 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.
