Solar Gard Announces New General Manager

Saint-Gobain has named Stéphane Nicoli as general manager of its Specialty Films business, the group responsible for the company’s window films and Solar Gard brand, effective March 31. He succeeds Christophe Fremont, who is stepping down as leader of Solar Gard after 10 years at the helm to pursue other responsibilities within Saint-Gobain.

“Christophe has successfully grown Solar Gard over the last decade to become a major global player in the industry and has been instrumental in helping window film become recognized as a valid component of the building envelope and a legitimate construction product,” said Lo?c Mahé, vice president of Saint-Gobain’s composites business, in a release. "Stéphane brings with him experience in operations and general management across multiple sectors of Saint-Gobain, including most recently work with Glassolutions, focused on the next generation of glass and glazing innovation."
