Now we’re not ones to boast, but we’ve got a pretty impressive track record when it comes to innovation, with some remarkable facts and figures to back this up. As we prepare for the official launch of our new London Innovation Centre next month we take a look at some of the numbers that make up Saint-Gobain:
 |
That’s the number of our new Innovation Centre, an engaging space designed to showcase the latest innovations from our UK manufacturing businesses, which will be located on 95 Great Portland Street, London.
|
 |
Is the number of patents we applied for in the last financial year – that’s more than one a day!
|
 |
Saint-Gobain has consistently increased its R&D budget for several years, signing partnerships with internationally recognised organisations and universities. Last year, we invested £363-million in R&D globally.
|
 |
Is the number of projects currently in our portfolio. With a team of 3,700 researchers located at 7 R&D centres, 12 research centres and around 100 development units worldwide we’re constantly developing new products and systems for tomorrow’s habitat.

These are just a few figures that demonstrate our innovation and commitment to helping our customers meet the challenges facing society today in terms of energy, housing and the environment. Watch this space for more information on the Saint-Gobain Innovation Centre coming soon.
