Saint-Gobain accelerates ITS development in MORTARS IN PERU

Saint-Gobain has just closed the acquisition of 100% of the mortars division of the Celima group in Peru, a market where Saint-Gobain has been present since 2014 through its Weber brand. The mortars division acquired is a leader in the country's tiling adhesives market and operates three plants in Lima, Arequipa and Trujillo. In 2018, it generated approximately EUR25 million in sales and has around 100 employees.

This acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy of deepening its footprint in emerging countries, and allows Saint-Gobain to accelerate its development and expand its offering in Peru in a fast-growing construction market. The Group is already a major player on the country's glass and plasterboard markets.
