Saint-Gobain’s genesis goes back to the year 1665 when Louis XIV, the King of France, commissioned it to make glass for the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. Since then, 355 years and still counting, there has been no looking back for what is today, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass, among several lines of businesses. Saint-Gobain’s presence in 68 countries with over 171000 employees worldwide has consistently made it among the top employers of the world.
