Saint-Gobain has completed the acquisition of United Paints and
Chemicals S.A.E.
(“Drymix”) on June 2023. Today, the ready-mix mortars manufacturer
will be serving the construction industry in Egypt
under the DRYMIX-WEBER branding. Established in 1997, Drymix has
become a generic name for ready-mix mortars in Egypt,
and offers a large portfolio of products,
services and training programs for craftsmen in the country. The
company currently employs 185 people in its plant in “6th of
October city”,
located 45 km from Cairo. Saint-Gobain has been present in Egypt
since 2006, operating 7 manufacturing plants and employing 575
people.
This acquisition accelerates its growth in the country by
enhancing the range of solutions offered across glass,
gypsum and construction chemicals. The acquisition of Drymix is in
line with Saint-Gobain’s strategic plan, “Grow & Impact”,
which aims to both strengthen the Group’s leadership and
accelerate its growth by enriching its range of solutions for
light and sustainable construction.
