I’m thrilled to share some groundbreaking news for Saint-Gobain. The Group announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Fosroc, a leading privately owned global construction chemicals player for $1,025 million (approximately €960 million).   Following the acquisitions of CHRYSO in 2021, GCP in 2022, and 33 additional acquisitions in many countries since 2021, this move, perfectly aligned with our “Grow & Impact” strategic plan, is a new strategic step in establishing Saint-Gobain’s worldwide presence in construction chemicals. With its 3,000 employees and 20 plants worldwide, Fosroc designs and manufactures concrete admixtures and cement additives, but also specialty building materials, like waterproofing, adhesives and sealants, protective coatings, cement repair, and flooring. Highly profitable, outperforming its markets, with a strong brand recognized by its customers, the company offers high-value products that are very complementary to our own, with a strong foothold in the high-growth markets of India and the Middle East. Together with Thierry Bernard (our CEO for Construction Chemicals Business Unit) and David Molho (CEO of High Performance Solutions), I am looking forward to warmly welcoming the Fosroc teams into Saint-Gobain and I am very confident about the combination of our joint forces to accelerate our growth and the deployment of our vision as the worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction and our purpose to “Make the world a better home”.

We're thrilled to launch our latest animation, showcasing our advanced bridge deck waterproofing system and the new tack coat, ELIMINATOR® Bond Coat 4—the latest addition to our portfolio! ELIMINATOR®, our pioneering bridge deck waterproofing system, has provided unparalleled protection to concrete and steel bridges globally for 50 years. The latest development of the ELIMINATOR® system is our unique, patent pending technology, Bond Coat 4, a cold spray-applied tack coat that improves adhesion and reduces the risk of premature failure of the asphalt. ELIMINATOR® and Bond Coat 4 offer long-lasting protection for a bridge’s structure, and long-term performance of the asphalt surfacing, also reducing the related carbon emissions. Discover more about the ELIMINATOR® system at www.gcpat.uk/eliminator #ELIMINATOR #BondCoat4 #BridgeDeckWaterproofing #Infrastructure

We are excited to unveil our new innovation, Bond Coat 4, at the #ViaNordica event in Copenhagen. Bond Coat 4, a patent pending tack coat, has been designed for use with our ELIMINATOR® system. ELIMINATOR® and Bond Coat 4 provide exceptional protection to the bridge deck in even the harshest conditions, reducing maintenance costs and traffic disruptions.   Bond Coat 4 improves the contact between the membrane and asphalt for enhanced adhesion, reducing the risk of premature surfacing failure. The ELIMINATOR® system, with its unique ESSELAC® advanced resin technology, creates composite action between the deck, waterproof membrane, substrate and asphalt, ensuring that the membrane is fully bonded, enabling it to stand up to an array of climatic conditions and heavy traffic loads.   Speaking about this new innovation, Jason Armstrong, Global Product Manager for Bridge & Deck Waterproofing at GCP said “It is great to officially launch Bond Coat 4 at Via Nordica. This cold spray-applied tack coat complements our renowned ELIMINATOR® system." Kostiantyn Medovnikov, International Business Development Manager for Stirling Lloyd, at GCP added "A tack coat is crucial in bridge deck waterproofing, providing the essential adhesive layer that ensures a strong bond and a durable, impermeable barrier, safeguarding the structure against moisture and enhancing its longevity.”   Keep an eye on our LinkedIn page to see our new animation all about ELIMINATOR® and Bond Coat 4. It’s coming soon! #BridgeDeckWaterproofing #ELIMINATOR #BondCoat4
