Saint-Gobain to make $80 million strategic investment in Sage

Saint-Gobain, France, one of the world’s largest glass and construction material manufacturers, is making a strategic equity investment in Sage Electrochromics to make electronically tintable “dynamic glass” an affordable, mass-market product, ushering in a new era of energy-saving buildings, according to a Nov. 10 release.

The announcement takes place one year after Saint-Gobain launched its consolidated advanced glazing division and its Quantum Glass brand. The strategic partnership with Sage further solidifies Saint-Gobain’s technological leadership in the glazing marketplace, where imaginative eco-friendly materials are opening up new possibilities for architecture and design.
