Saint-Gobain is a giant in the civil construction segment and has its main focus on the manufacture and sale of quartzolit material, a type of mortar widely used in different construction projects to ensure more resistance to constructions.

In this way, the company intends to expand the sale of the material and reach new markets for works in the region, which has a strong potential for the consumption of this product in civil construction projects. The branch will also have a team specialized in the sale of quartzolit to make this the company's main focus in Porto Velho.
In addition, the land where the works of the new factory were carried out was acquired by the French Group in 2015 and has 65,000m². The location also currently has, in addition to the warehouse and shipping, an office built entirely in Light Steel Frame, using products from other brands of the Group such as Placo, Isover and Sonex. These products aim to make civil construction increasingly sustainable and committed to the environment and are part of another strategy of the company's branch.

Now, for the year 2022, the agency expects a growth of up to 10% against a 3% increase in GDP, which guarantees space for the new Saint-Gobain factory to grow even more.
Thus, Renato Holzheim, General Manager at Saint-Gobain, commented that “The Saint Gobain Group is very proud to announce the opening of the new Quartzolit factory in Porto Velho.
