PRESS RELEASE
October 1st, 2019
 
SAINT-GOBAIN SELLS K PAR K IN FRANCE
 
 
Saint-Gobain has completed the sale of K par K to two of its managers. The business specializes mainly in the door-to-door sale of customized woodwork and windows on the French market.
 
This activity, unique within Saint-Gobain, had limited synergies with the rest of the group.
 
K par K generated a turnover of around €130 million in 2018 and employs nearly 1,000 people.
 
This transaction marks the continuation of Saint-Gobain's portfolio optimization strategy within the framework of the new organization, beyond the objective of more than €3 billion in sales already reached, to grow our growth and profitability profile. Divestments completed or signed as of today represent over €3.1 billion in sales.
