SAINT-GOBAIN COMPLETES ITS ACQUISITION OF KAYCAN

 

 

On July 29, 2022 Saint-Gobain completed the acquisition announced on May 31,
2022 of Kaycan, a manufacturer and distributor of exterior building materials
in Canada and in the United States.

 

With this acquisition, Saint-Gobain reinforces its worldwide leadership in
light and sustainable construction by becoming the top siding player in Canada
and enlarging its vinyl offer across the United States with complementary
solutions in aluminum and engineered wood.

 

As part of this acquisition and in line with our previous announcement, the
divestment of Kaycan's small US distribution business is progressing well and
its closing is expected in the third quarter of 2022. The EBITDA multiple of
approximately 8x post synergies and divestment of US distribution is
confirmed.

 

Kaycan joins the local North American construction business, within the
Americas Region.
