GGF MARKS SPECIAL
YEAR FOR SAINT-GOBAIN

»»The GGF
congratulates Saint-Gobain on
its 350th brand anniversary
and evaluates strong working
relationship.
Saint-Gobain companies have
been GGF Members since the
early 1990s and today the SaintGobain Group is still as active
as ever in the Federation. Brian
Baker, current GGF President, has

worked with the Federation on
behalf of Saint-Gobain companies
since they joined the GGF.
Most of Saint-Gobain’s input
in this period has come from or
through Brian. It was therefore
fitting that on GGF Members’
Day, 1st September 2015, Brian
accepted a special GGF award
to commemorate Saint-Gobain’s
350th anniversary.

Brian commented:
“It was a genuine privilege
to accept this award to mark
the 350th birthday of SaintGobain. It is extra special to
accept it as GGF President on
an occasion such as Members
Day.”
From the Federation’s
perspective Saint-Gobain has
played an important part in
the development of the GGF
technical information and
expertise.
Giles Willson, GGF
Managing Director
commented:
“It’s important for the GGF
as the industry’s leading trade
organisation to have large global
players such as Saint-Gobain on
board to help drive our strategy
and activity.”

Steve Rice, GGF Director of
Technical Affairs added:
“I congratulate Saint-Gobain
on their 350th brand anniversary.
It is especially pleasing for me to
see their success and longevity in
the industry because I have been
involved with the company and
Brian since they joined the GGF
over 25 years ago.”
On presenting the GGF’s
special award, Nigel Rees, GGF
Group Chief Executive added:
“The GGF felt it was only
appropriate to make this gesture
as Saint-Gobain is the oldest
brand in our industry and the
company and its subsidiary
companies have contributed
so much to the GGF and the
industry over many years.”
