Agricore receives permanent permission for Hill Top Farm gypsum wallboard recycling plant

03 March 2021

UK: Durham County Council has granted Agricore permanent permission for its Hill Top Farm gypsum wallboard recycling plant near Darlington, County Durham. The Darlington and Stockton Times newspaper has reported that the gypsum producer had previously held permission on a five-year basis.

Locals in the rural former coal mining area had appealed against the application. Many of the 110 complainants claimed that heavy traffic had rendered a local lane dangerous to walk and cycle on. Agricore sells gypsum to local farmers for use as fertiliser.

The county council required that the company submit plans for a power supply transition from diesel generators to ‘a more sustainable alternative’ before 3 September 2020.

Boral updates market on USG Boral situation

16 April 2020

Australia: Boral has updated the market on its transaction with Knauf in relation to its USG Boral joint venture. On 19 March 2020, Boral announced that its view was that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) was unlikely to approve the call option in relation to the Australian and New Zealand business. In further discussions between Boral and Knauf, it has now become clear that obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals required to allow the transaction to be implemented as signed in August 2019 is not achievable by the 30 June 2020 deadline. Other conditions to the transaction also remain outstanding.

As a result, Boral and Knauf will consider a range of potential options, with Boral’s objective being to target a cash neutral transaction rather than a transaction with a significant funding requirement for Boral. Discussions are at a preliminary stage and any revised transaction remains subject to agreement between Boral and Knauf, and ultimately will also require the approval of regulators including the ACCC and New Zealand Commerce Commission (NZCC). Given this, the company’s pre-existing US$400m acquisition bridge facility, put in place for the purpose of completing the transaction with Knauf, was allowed to lapse.

Saint-Gobain prepares to complete acquisition of Continental Building Products

31 January 2020

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.
