Interstar, operating from facilities in Canada and the US, supplies high-performance pigments for concrete, expanding Saint-Gobain’s decorative and architectural concrete solutions portfolio.

Based in northern Italy, Isoltech develops additives for cellular concrete, a lightweight material valued for its insulation, fire resistance, and recyclability, supporting sustainable building practices.

Soquimic, with two plants near Lima and Arequipa, enhances Saint-Gobain’s reach in the high-growth Peruvian market while complementing its existing local operations.

Collectively, these acquisitions will generate around €25 million in additional annual revenue and will benefit from Chryso’s expertise in innovation, R&D, and low-carbon solutions. They align with Saint-Gobain’s “Grow & Impact” strategy, reinforcing its global leadership and accelerating the development of advanced, sustainable construction products tailored to evolving market needs.
