      How We Make a Difference.


      At Saint-Gobain, we know how engineers think. We know the challenges they face. We’re engineers too. That’s why we work engineer-to-engineer so we can deliver solutions that make a big difference for our customers and ultimately, the end user too.

       

      Collaboration and Customer Focus

      Every customer’s needs are unique, so each of our solutions are custom developed to maximize the value engineers can build into applications with our components.

      One-to-One relationships

      By working engineer-to-engineer, we develop a deep understanding of customer challenges and demonstrate how our unrivalled expertise and experience can deliver, and exceed, exacting performance standards.

      Technical Expertise

      With over 30 years of experience with decades of ongoing investment in R&D, we have an unparalleled understanding of advanced materials and their capabilities.

      R&D

      Industry is constantly changing, and so are market expectations. From six R&D centres across the world, our dedicated engineers are developing the next generation of component solutions.

      Local presence, global support

      Global operations give us large-scale and rapid industrialization capabilities. With a presence in 14 countries, we offer  tailored solutions and support to our customers wherever they are.

      Operational excellence

      World-class manufacturing facilities guarantee we can consistently deliver high quality products, rapid response and the highest standards of service.

       

      Four Key Benefits in Our Solutions.


      Our approach is to develop solutions that deliver on four key benefits which help engineers solve their challenges and deliver on end user expectations.

      Smart Design

      Smart Design

      Our solutions support light weight design by delivering strong yet light components or allow to combine unlike materials, save space by replacing multiple parts or delivering ultra-thin components, and cut costs by eliminating lubrication and streamlining or combining components.

       

      Perfect Fit

      Perfect Fit

      We can work with our customers to deliver custom solutions with the ideal tolerance compensations to deliver the best possible fit between mating components and optimise assembly.

       

      Noise free

      Noise Free

      Noise can be irritating and unpleasant for the end user. We deliver solutions that provide a quieter and more pleasant experience, and reduce physical discomfort, and wear, by reducing vibration.

       

      Long life

      Long Life

      Our solutions perform consistently over time by delivering controlled torque and friction, or the highest corrosion protection - enhancing our customer’s reputation with the end user through maintained performance over life.
