Sibelco and Saint-Gobain announce separation of Jundu joint venture

Sibelco and Saint-Gobain have agreed to separate the Jundu joint venture in Brazil, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. This decision reflects the ambition of both companies to further focus their businesses and position themselves for long-term success.

Jundu has been a successful partnership for more than 60 years and is a well-established supplier of industrial minerals in Brazil. Throughout its history, the business has built strong customer relationships and made an important contribution to the communities where it operates.

As part of the proposed separation, the Analândia, Balneário Barra do Sul, Estância and Santa Maria Eterna sites will become part of Sibelco, while the Descalvado, São João Del Rey, Bom Sucesso do Itararé and Viamão sites will remain with Saint-Gobain.
The separation is expected to take place during 2026
and will be followed by a carefully managed transition period designed to ensure continuity, safety and stability.

This step is aligned with Sibelco's Build 2030 strategy and supports the company's ambition to build a stronger, more focused and future-ready business. By concentrating resources where it can create the greatest long-term value, Sibelco continues to strengthen its ability to support customers, invest in sustainable growth and create opportunities for the future.

Throughout the transition, Sibelco and Saint-Gobain remain committed to supporting employees, customers, suppliers and local communities. Dedicated project teams will oversee the process with a strong focus on safety, operational continuity and transparent communication.
