SAINT-GOBAIN NORDIC AND BALTICS BUILDING PHYSICS TEAM



The tradition of how we build and the physical environments in which we live differs from region to region, from country to country. Because of this innovation at local level is an important area for Saint-Gobain.



Where central innovation is the foundation for the success in creating superior solutions, the local adaptations and the local inventions is key to ensuring that all our solutions are "just right" in the area where they are produced and applied. In the Nordic and Baltic region we have several local R&D centers across the region. Saint-Gobain recently started a new cross-business research center for the Nordic region. The research centers maintain and develop the highest level of skills and key technologies for all the brands in the region. The center will facilitate research into new products more closely tailored to the Nordic market requirements.



In order to further strengthen the innovation team, Saint-Gobain is now hiring a Thermal Physicist for our Nordic & Baltic Building Physics region.
