SAINT-GOBAIN STRENGTHENS ITS INFRASTRUCTURE OFFER IN NORTH AMERICA WITH THE ACQUISITION OF D.S. BROWN IN CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS

Saint-Gobain has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire D.S. Brown Company, a leading North American designer, manufacturer and supplier of highly engineered solutions for bridge, airport and other transportation infrastructure applications.

Headquartered in North Baltimore, Ohio, D.S. Brown offers a full portfolio of solutions including expansion joint systems, structural bearings, pavement preservation and waterproofing solutions.

With annual sales of approximately $90 million expected in 2026, 235 employees and 2 manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Texas, the company has built a recognized position in transportation infrastructure, supported by its technical expertise and specification-driven business model.

The acquisition will expand Saint-Gobain’s construction chemicals platform in North America and accelerate its penetration of infrastructure markets, supported by the need to modernize existing transport networks and increased durability and resilience requirements. D.S. Brown is highly complementary with proven GCP solutions (Eliminator Bridge Deck Waterproofing and Safetrack Road Maintenance Solutions), FOSROC, Chryso (high-performance concrete admixture solutions) and Xypex (crystalline waterproofing technology). This acquisition strengthens Saint-Gobain’s global infrastructure platform by expanding its offering of solutions for the repair, protection and strengthening of civil engineering assets.

The combination will bring significant commercial and operational synergies through cross-selling, specification of high-value-added solutions and innovation opportunities, leveraging Saint-Gobain’s customer base to broaden D.S. Brown’s reach.

The transaction is subject to US antitrust approval and fulfillment of other customary closing conditions. It is expected to close by the end of 2026.

This acquisition is fully aligned with Saint-Gobain’s “Lead & Grow” strategic plan, which aims to accelerate the Group’s growth in high-value-added solutions for infrastructure markets, leveraging its established leadership in construction chemicals.
