Saint-Gobain, the global leader in light and sustainable construction, has announced a definitive agreement to divest Brüggemann, its specialist prefabricated solutions arm, to the German construction group Köster. The transaction is expected to close by end-2025.

Brüggemann, based in Neuenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, employs 190 people and recorded revenues of approximately €55 million in 2024. The company is known for its expertise in the production and installation of prefabricated construction solutions.

Founded over 360 years ago, Saint-Gobain operates in 80 countries, employs over 161,000 people, and generated €46.6 billion in sales in 2024. The Group remains focused on its mission: “MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER HOME,” and is actively working toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
