Saint-Gobain prepares to complete acquisition of Continental Building Products

US: Saint-Gobain is preparing to complete its acquisition of Continental Building Products in early February 2020. The announcement follows approval by Continental Building Products’ shareholders for the US$1.4bn deal.

Saint-Gobain said that the purchase of the gypsum wallboard producer would increases its presence in the US with its positioning in growth regions in the East and Southeast US. It would also widen its product portfolio and create the opportunity for at least US$50m in cost synergies and performance improvements by the end of the third year following the close of the transaction.

"This transaction will allow us to become a leading player in plasterboard and construction solutions across North America. It will enable the group to enhance its growth and profitability profile,” said Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Saint-Gobain.
