Saint-Gobain enhances its digital solutions portfolio to
accelerate its customers' decarbonization
Saint-Gobain has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Glass Service a.s., a leading provider of digital solutions for
glass furnaces, including advanced control systems and simulation
software, which enables customers to reduce their energy
consumption.
Closing of the transaction is subject to antitrust approvals and
is expected by the end of the first half of 2024.
It will complement Saint-Gobain's range of digital services
offering predictive, diagnostic, and data-driven solutions to
improve energy efficiency for its customers and reduce the carbon
footprint of their products and processes:
- Saint-Gobain recently invested in 3 start-ups for breakthrough
innovation through its venture arm NOVA: Sysdyne Technologies to
enhance productivity and traceability for ready-mix concrete
production and delivery thanks to a cloud-native software platform,
and Plantformance and Newboot to improve manufacturing performance
thanks to a comprehensive suite of services and software programs
as well as real-time data collection. These partnerships enable
Saint-Gobain to integrate cutting-edge technologies, such as IoT
(Internet of Things), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital
twins which can result in a reduction of up to 10% in a factory's
energy consumption.
- Since its acquisition of GCP in October 2022, Saint-Gobain
owns and operates VERIFI(R) in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific: a
concrete management system which leverages IoT technology to ensure
consistent quality and sustainability in ready-mix concrete
production and delivery.
In addition, the SOLU+ and CAP RENOV digital tools sold by
Saint-Gobain's merchanting businesses in France (Point.P in
particular) continue to see growing success with trade
professionals and renovation companies with about 90% of worksites
eligible for MaPrimeRénov' having used the CAP RENOV advisory,
layout and estimation tool in 2023.
These digital solutions contribute to the goals of
Saint-Gobain's "Grow & Impact" strategic plan aiming to provide
end-to-end solutions to its customers and accelerate the
decarbonization of their products and processes.
