Saint-Gobain to buy Chryso

France: Saint-Gobain has agreed to buy Chryso for an undisclosed sum. It said that the construction chemicals producer had an enterprise value of Euro1.02bn, based on its recent earnings and anticipated synergies. Saint-Gobain intends to finance the acquisition from the proceeds of other divestments made by the group. Key benefits it expects from the purchase include a strengthened position in the construction chemicals market, market growth in the sector, further strategic movements towards sustainability goals through the use of additives, anticipated ease of integration and value for shareholders.

“The acquisition of Chryso is a unique growth platform opportunity for Saint-Gobain to further develop our already strong presence in the growing construction chemicals market. It is fully in line with our environment, social and governance strategy of providing a sustainable and performance driven value proposition to our customers,” commented Pierre-André de Chalendar, chairman and chief executive officer of Saint-Gobain, and Benoit Bazin, chief operating officer.

Subject to consultation and approval with employee representative bodies and competition authorities the acquisition is expected to be finalised in the second half of 2021.
