PRESS RELEASE
September 30, 2019
SAINT-GOBAIN announces the sale of its
construction glass business in south korea
and reaches its divestment target announced for the end of
2019
Saint-Gobain has reached an agreement to sell its construction
glass activity in South Korea (Hankuk Glass Industries), a player
in the local construction market, to Glenwood Private Equity, a
leading investment management company in Korea specialized in
industrial activities and the construction sector.
The transaction should close at the end of 2019 once approval of
the competition authorities has been granted. It will be based on
an enterprise value of around EUR240 million.
In 2018 the business generated revenues of around EUR200 million
and operating income of EUR10 million. The company employs 310
people and consists principally of two flat glass production units
and a transformation line. Saint-Gobain retains its leading
position in South Korea and continues its development in the
automotive markets, in life sciences and in insulation, both
industrial and construction.
This transaction marks an important milestone in the execution
of Saint-Gobain's portfolio optimization strategy: with over EUR3
billion in sales completed or signed as of today, the objective
announced for the end of 2019 has already been reached.
