Saint-Gobain SA (Euronext: SGO) is a French multinational corporation, founded in 1665 in Paris and headquartered just on the outskirts of Paris at La Défense. Originally a mirror manufacturer, it now also produces a variety of construction and high-performance materials. The next fifteen years were a time of change and reorganization for the newly merged companies. In the 1970s, Western economies were in the worst shape they had ever been since the Great Depression. Maintaining the different activities and continuing the diversification of the company became heavy tasks as the companies financial performance took a hit with the economic and petrol crisis.
In 1981, for the first time under the Fifth Republic of France, the Left made it to the presidency. Such a transition from the twenty years of under Right, meant that the French society as a whole would be deeply impacted by this political change. In 1981 and 1982, 10 of France's performing companies were nationalized and by February 1982, Saint-Gobain officially was controlled by the state. However, Saint-Gobain as a national company does not last long. As soon as 1987, it is re-privatized.
When Saint-Gobain once again became a private enterprise, control of the company quickly changed hands. Jean-Louis Beffa, an engineer and graduate of the presitgous French school Polytechnique, became the CEO of Saint-Gobain. From the very beginning, Beffa had a clear idea of how he would like to shape the company within the next 10 years. As Saint-Gobain had a long history of investing in research and development, Beffa pushed strongly to integrate the notion of engineered materials. This notion consisted of looking for and finding markets of the future with a future, such as abrasives or ceramics, pushing Saint-Gobain to be at least one step in front of the competition.
Under Beffa, Saint-Gobain continued to expand internationally. Not only did Saint-Gobain set up greenfield plants, but also, it acquired many of its foreign competitors. In 1996, Saint-Gobain bought a company that would change the shape of its activities much as Pont-à-Mousson did in 1970. Poliet, the French building and construction distribution group entered Saint-Gobain, bring along with subsidiaries such as Point P. and Lapeyre.
Since its creation in 1996, the Building Distribution Sector has experienced rapid expansion through internal growth and acquisitions, first in France with Point P. and Lapeyre; then in the UK with Jewson and Graham; followed by Germany, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe with Raab Karcher; and finally in the Nordic Countries with Dahl, the leading bathroom, kitchen and heating products distributor and Optimera. With almost 4,000 stores in 24 countries, the Building Distribution Sector is the leading building materials and kitchen, bathroom, heating and plumbing supplies distributor in Europe, and the leading ceramic tile distributor in the World.
