Geschichte von Saint Gobain - Spiegelsaal in Versailles

From the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles to a global brand

The founding of the Saint-Gobain Group dates back to the 16th century. King Henry II had a glazier built that had the license to produce so-called "Venetian glass" – known today as mirror glass. In 1665, under King Louis XIV, the Royal Mirror Glass Manufactory of Saint-Gobain was founded. The young company's first major order was glass production for the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. Today, Saint-Gobain is one of the 100 largest industrial companies in the world, headquartered in Paris.
