Saint-Gobain to Acquire NC Glass Fiber Plant

Transaction Overview

Saint‑Gobain announced on Tuesday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the glass‑fiber manufacturing facility located in Lexington, North Carolina. The plant, which has historically supplied Saint‑Gobain CertainTeed in the United States, produces the glass‑mat material that is a key component of roofing shingles and of high‑performance plasterboards, including the company’s Glasroc X moisture‑resistant reinforced plasterboard for external applications.

Strategic Rationale

The acquisition is intended to bring the production of these key components in‑house, thereby strengthening Saint‑Gobain’s supply chain in the United States. The move follows the recent opening of a new glass‑mat plant in Oxford, North Carolina, expanding the group’s domestic manufacturing footprint.

Closing Timeline

The transaction is expected to be completed on 31 July 2026.

No financial terms of the deal were disclosed.
