Saint-Gobain finalizes purchase of adhesives manufacturer in Brazil

Weber Quartzolit, part of Saint-Gobain Mortars, has strengthened its presence in Brazil with its purchase of Industrial Potengy, a company specializing in tile adhesives with the Fortcola brand and based in the State of Rio Grande do Norte in the north-east of Brazil. 

 

A leading player on the Brazilian tile adhesives market but without a significant presence in this State to date, Weber Quartzolit will benefit from Industrial Potengy’s local industrial and commercial network in pursuing its development going forward.

 

This transaction is in line with the Group’s strategy to increase the share of its industrial assets located in the US and emerging countries.
