Company Background

For more than four decades, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics and its family of companies have supplied the world with innovative, high performance polymer products for the most demanding applications.

Our tradition of excellence goes back more than 350 years to our first enterprise, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, founded in France in 1665, which made the glass for the palace of Versailles. Since then Saint-Gobain has become one of the world’s top 100 industrial corporations through its continuous commitment to finding new and innovative ways to transform materials to meet the demands of our customers. Today, Saint-Gobain is a global leader in each of its businesses, including flat glass, insulation, reinforcements, building materials, abrasives, industrial ceramics and piping.

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics carries on the same commitment to quality as the world’s leading producer of engineered high performance polymer products for virtually every industry around the globe, using resins such as fluoropolymers, silicones and high-temperature thermoplastics.

Backed by a proud heritage of product innovation, technological expertise and market leadership, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics is dedicated to working with our customers to solve today’s application issues and the challenges that lie ahead.
