Creating Peace of Mind
With unmatched material expertise and manufacturing experience, our teams design innovative, precision components for a myriad of markets and applications. We work side-by-side with our customers to co-develop and engineer custom solutions that meet their exact specifications – both throughout the development phase and product life cycle.

We’re always considering future markets, trends, or applications that are still years out. But just as important is our focus on today and being proactive in our innovation, so when a customer is faced with a challenge, we’re better equipped to find the solution.
Saint-Gobain R&D Centers
While innovation happens in every corner of our organization, Saint-Gobain depends heavily on the local teams at eight dedicated R&D centers across six countries. These facilities maintain and acquire core technologies, initiate and manage large projects and exploratory programs, showcase our innovations, engage academic communities, and offer broad-based development opportunities for our talented employees.
Life Sciences R&D activities are primarily hosted at our facilities in Northborough, Massachusetts (USA), and Shanghai, China.
