INVENT NEW PROCESSES
The main aim of research is to expand our basic knowledge of materials and processes, to integrate scientific and technical progress on an ongoing basis, to perfect production processes to make them more competitive and maintain the Group's technical lead, to improve the product properties and reliability, and to invent new more effective processes.
CREATE NEW PRODUCTS
One major goal of research is to create new products for traditional markets or which meet new needs. These are generally products derived from our base materials. In many cases, they bring about a change in the market because of the innovative aspect of their functions.

DEVELOP NEW APPLICATIONS
Conquer new markets in close collaboration with marketing teams is a major concern for Saint-Gobain researchers. This involves looking for new applications for our materials outside their traditional markets.
INVEST IN THE FUTURE
As the first aim of research is to pave the way for the future, Saint-Gobain devotes significant resources to research into new, high-performance materials for tomorrow's markets.
