SAINT-GOBAIN COMPLETES THE DIVESTMENT OF ITS expanded polystyrene (eps) business In France

Saint-Gobain completed on December 31, 2019 the sale of its expanded polystyrene (EPS) business in France to the Austrian and Swedish consortium Hirsch-BEWiSynbra.

The EPS business in France had generated sales of around EUR70 million in 2018.

This transaction is part of Saint-Gobain's portfolio optimization strategy within the framework of its new organization. Divestments completed or signed by the Group to date in order to enhance its growth and profitability profile represent sales of around EUR3.3 billion. Saint-Gobain is continuing its divestment program even though the initial target of over EUR3 billion in sales divested by the end of 2019 has been met.
