      Saint-Gobain and Trakya Cam announce the creation of a joint venture 
            to develop their flat glass (float) activities in Russia 
 
 
Saint-Gobain and Trakya Cam, a subsidiary of the Sisecam Group, have signed a 
contract to create a joint venture owned 70% by Trakya Cam and 30% by 
Saint-Gobain. In order to take advantage of strong market growth in Russia, this 
company will build a flat glass manufacturing unit, a mirror production line, 
and a magnetron coater line in the Alabuga special economic area of the Republic 
of Tatarstan. 
 
Total investments amount to EUR184 million. Work on building a flat glass (float) 
production line for the construction and automotive markets will start in the 
last quarter of 2010, while the investments for installing the mirror and 
magnetron coater production lines will begin shortly after the flat glass 
(float) plant is operational in the second half of 2012. 
 
This investment in Russia, where the flat glass market has a high growth 
potential, is a major step in the expansion of Saint-Gobain and Trakya Cam, 
enabling them to serve their customers effectively from a local industrial 
center.
