SAINT-GOBAIN STRENGTHENS ITS CAPACITY IN PLASTERBOARD IN BRAZIL AND REINFORCES
                ITS POSITION ON THE LIGHT CONSTRUCTION MARKETS

Saint-Gobain announces the construction of a new plasterboard line at its Mogi
das Cruzes site near São Paulo, Brazil. It will be the Group's third
plasterboard line in the country.

This investment will enable Saint-Gobain to substantially increase its
plasterboard production capacity in Brazil, in order to meet the rapidly
growing local demand and to consolidate Saint- Gobain's leadership position on
the light construction markets in Latin America.

This new line, which will be operational in early 2023, complies with the
highest standards in terms of industrial performance, safety, energy
consumption and environmental compliance. It will generate 15% less CO2
emissions than the first line and increase the internal reuse of waste by 50%.

Saint-Gobain has been present in Brazil since 1937, with 56 plants and nearly
12,000 employees. The Group holds a leading position in interior and exterior
solutions, facades and ceilings.
