Fosroc’s Post

New page for Fosroc

👏 Celebrate to the company that I currently worked 🤑 🤑 🤑 Saint-Gobain announces 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) in cash. Following the acquisitions of Chryso in 2021, GCP in 2022 and 33 additional acquisitions since 2021, this move is a new strategic step in establishing Saint-Gobain’s worldwide presence in construction chemicals, which will have combined sales of €6.2 billion across 73 countries following the acquisition (pro forma). FOSROC is a global construction chemicals player with a strong geographic footprint in India, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific in particular. The company is expected to generate $487 million of sales and to achieve an EBITDA margin of 18.7% in 2024E. With 20 manufacturing plants and around 3,000 employees, FOSROC provides a wide range of technical solutions for the construction industry, including admixtures and additives for concrete and cement, adhesives and sealants, waterproofing solutions, concrete repair solutions and flooring. The purchase price represents an acquisition multiple (before synergies) of approximately 11.3x FOSROC’s 2024E EBITDA of $91 million, and a multiple of approximately 7.1x when including run-rate synergies of approximately $54 million in year 3. This acquisition will be fully financed in cash. The Group will maintain a strong balance sheet with net debt / EBITDA remaining at the low end of the target range (1.5x to 2.0x) including the recently announced Bailey and CSR Limited acquisitions. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and is expected in first-half 2025.

This is how a success story is written

Safer and more productive are key operational imperatives and at Jansen we mean to deliver this with our new mining technologies.

What we're working on at NACOE NACOE is researching more than 50 unique areas to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions for Queensland's road network. Here are some of the projects we have been working on recently: Safety • Investigating a wireless sensor technology in the prediction of rainfall-induced landslides. • Investigating potential improvements to the adhesion of Raised Reflective Pavement Markers (RRPM) on our road surfacings. • Network-level Active Transport data availability and integrity Sustainability • Using limestone cement in stabilisation • Using recycled materials in earthworks and drainage • Exploring strategies for decarbonised construction • Navigating sustainability for structures Efficiency • Intelligent construction technology for higher productivity and better roads in QLD • Improved crumb rubber modified binder sprayed sealing practices • Expanding value-for-money asset preservation solutions and management strategies for sealed roads We are excited to share the results of our research with the industry.

A big week in Canada partnering with the local team to bring the digital strategy to life for this epic build at Jansen. Our opportunity to truly enable safety, production and sustainability *by design* and our ambition to embed solutions at a time when technology is arguably at the biggest inflection point since the Industrial Revolution - that’s something. Getting to grips with specifics of value, what, when and foundations for the future gives us the path to making this a reality. Ideas only count when you bridge them to execution. A site visit rounded the week out, with the opportunity for field leadership on business critical infrastructure in the tech landscape. Designing controls with both now and our operating state in mind with a group of HSS, Tech and Engineering helped me see a bigger picture and we will be better for it. #digitalstrategy #technologystrategy #onewaydoors
