Saint-Gobain looks to expand market presence in China

Increasing demand for high-quality homes in China is creating opportunities for companies such as French construction materials company Saint-Gobain.

The company is looking to double its presence in the country in the coming three years, as China proactively attracts foreign investments as part of an effort to shore up the economy.

Saint-Gobain's performance in China has been solid and the country has always been a very important market for the company, said Javier Gimeno, CEO of Saint-Gobain's Asia-Pacific operations.
