With the development of electric vehicles, the need for differentiated noise control and lightweight solutions is gaining momentum.
Pritex’s work in thermo-acoustic insulation materials and design combined with Sekurit’s thin glazing capabilities enables an extended offer for customised acoustic and thermal solutions for the automotive market.
Saint-Gobain’s board, on the proposal of its president Pierre-Andre de Chalendar, appointed Benoit Bazin as chief operating officer, starting earlier this year in January.
Pritex employs 240 people and achieved close to EUR20m (US$22m) in sales in 2018. The 60-year old company is based in the UK.
