Saint-Gobain: Construction of a New Gypsum Plant in Vietnam

PARIS, January 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

In order to reinforce its leadership in Vietnam and support its growth strategy in the region, Saint-Gobain has decided to build its second plasterboard plant in the country. The Haiphong plant will come in addition to existing capacity in Ho Chi Minh in Southern Vietnam. This will ensure better commercial presence and better service for our customers. The new plant is expected to start up at the end of 2018.

With this investment, Saint-Gobain's Gypsum Activity will consolidate its presence in South East Asia where it already operates 8 different manufacturing sites (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam).
