Sale of Gallhfer Dach GmbH in Germany
Saint-Gobain has signed an agreement with the investment fund Palero GmbH to sell Gallhfer Dach GmbH, its specialist roofing product distributor in Germany which reported sales of 149 million in 2014.
This transaction, which should be completed by the end of the year, is fully in line with Saint-Gobain Building Distribution's strategy of optimizing its portfolio by divesting non-core assets presenting few synergies with its other businesses, and bolstering its leading positions in Europe and in Brazil.
