Saint-Gobain has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire U.P. Twiga Fiberglass Ltd. (UP Twiga), the glass wool insulation manufacturer with two manufacturing facilities close to Delhi and Mumbai. The company has been a licensee of Saint-Gobain technology since 2005 for the manufacture of glass wool in India and its solutions offer a wide range of applications.

Together with the recent acquisition of Rockwool India Pvt Ltd. in stone wool and Saint-Gobain’s number 1 positions in plasterboard and glass, UP Twiga consolidates Saint-Gobain’s positioning in interior and façade solutions in India, set to benefit from higher building performance requirements and the strong need for acoustic and thermal comfort as well as energy-efficient solutions.

Saint-Gobain India currently operates 33 manufacturing sites across India and has been significantly investing for growth in the country in recent years.

This transaction is subject to the completion of certain conditions and approvals from the competent authorities. It is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
