SAINT-GOBAIN COMPLETES THE DIVESTEMENT OF ITS CIVIL ENGINEERING MATERIALS DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS (DMTP) In France

 

Saint-Gobain completed the sale of the company Distribution de Matériaux pour les Travaux Publics (DMTP) to Frans Bonhomme Group on November 29, 2019.

 

This divestment, which generated revenues of €250 million and operating income of nearly €3 million in 2018, was based on an enterprise value of €70 million.

 

This transaction is part of Saint-Gobain's portfolio optimization strategy within the framework of its new organization. Divestments completed or signed by the Group to date in order to enhance its growth and profitability profile represent sales of around €3.3 billion. Saint-Gobain is continuing its divestment program even though the initial target of over €3 billion in sales divested by the end of the year has already been met.
