Origin2023
CertainTeed is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, a French industrial group founded in 1665 by royal decree of Louis XIV to manufacture mirrors for the Palace of Versailles. Saint-Gobain is one of the oldest continuously operating industrial companies in the world -- over 350 years -- and today is a global building materials conglomerate with $50B+ in annual revenue. When an American homeowner in Toledo buys CertainTeed shingles, they are purchasing from a company whose corporate lineage traces to a French royal glassworks that made mirrors for the Sun King. Saint-Gobain acquired CertainTeed in 1977, giving it a platform across the US building envelope supply chain from shingles to siding to pipe.
