For Saint-Gobain, Shanghai is more than a city that welcomes foreign companies. It is a place of strategic opportunity.

In this episode, Ludovic Weber, Asia CEO of Saint-Gobain, explains why the French Global 500 company chose Shanghai as its Asia regional headquarters and home to one of its eight global R&D centers. With a history of more than 360 years, Saint-Gobain has long focused on innovative materials and sustainable solutions. Since entering China 40 years ago, the company has viewed the Chinese market as a vital part of its global strategy.

Weber says Shanghai offers a business environment that is very friendly to multinational companies. Its high-quality talent resources make it easier to attract skilled professionals, while its strong logistics network connects the regional headquarters with countries across Asia and major Chinese cities.

In Huangpu district, government support has helped Saint-Gobain build a regional headquarters managing business growth, talent development and M&A across more than ten countries and over 100 industrial sites.

At the Bund International Talent Service Center, one-stop services for overseas professionals show Shanghai's warmth and precision in action. For Saint-Gobain, Shanghai is not only a partner in growth, but also a place to advance its purpose: "Making the World a Better Home."
