Sale of Gallhöfer Dach GmbH in Germany

Saint-Gobain has signed an agreement with the investment fund Palero GmbH to sell Gallhöfer Dach GmbH, its specialist roofing product distributor in Germany which reported sales of €149 million in 2014.

This transaction, which should be completed by the end of the year, is fully in line with Saint-Gobain Building Distribution's strategy of optimizing its portfolio by divesting non-core assets presenting few synergies with its other businesses, and bolstering its leading positions in Europe and in Brazil.
