Getting plastered every day is the BPB way. Europe's top maker of plasterboard (or drywall), the company also makes paperboard products (used in plasterboard and packaging), internal linings, and materials for flooring and decorative use. More than 50% of sales come from plasterboard. BPB has restructured its paperboard business, selling or closing some operations, to cut costs. BPB has more than 80 plants in 45 countries. Most of the company's sales are in Europe. The company is under investigation by the Commission of European Communities for alleged anti-competitive practices.
