Compagnie de Saint-Gobain
 PROFILE
Even mortar sales stack up profits for Compagnie de Saint-Gobain. One of Europe's oldest and largest enterprises, Saint-Gobain has operations in three sectors: housing products, glass, and high-performance materials. Housing product operations (45% of sales) include building materials distribution and manufacturing and pipe; glass operations (38% of sales) include containers, flat glass, and insulation and reinforcements; the high-performance materials unit includes ceramics, plastics, and abrasives businesses. Saint-Gobain is a world leader in many of its business segments. In the 1600s it provided glass for Versailles; today it insulates one in every two European homes and makes 30 billion glass containers a year.
