On the ground. In the mix. Building Africa one skill at a time. Under the commitment of #MABA, we continue to empower local professionals with practical training that strengthens skills, boosts confidence, and drives excellence across the continent. Recently, In Saint-Gobain Kenya, our team hosted a hands-on technical training focused on Technical Finishes flooring solutions and specialty finishes. Local contractors rolled up their sleeves, asked the right questions, and explored product solutions that are designed for Africa, made to last. Last week, In Saint-Gobain Zimbabwe, we hosted a comprehensive Rhinolite® Plaster Training, diving into the product’s features, proper application methods, and finishing tips. The training also covered the effective use of Gamatex™ and Mason Wall Putty, giving applicators confidence to deliver superior wall finishes. We don’t just build. We build with purpose. We build for Africa. We build for the future: https://lnkd.in/dTJE-94Q #MABA #MakingItInAfricaToBuildAfrica #SaintGobainAfrica #RhinoLite #Gamatex #WallPutty #TechnicalTraining #WeAreSaintGobain #BuildBetterAfrica #SkillsForAfrica

Every big project needs its own #SaintGobainSolution – just like a fruit packaging plant in Midrand! At this facility, Polyscreed SL, a polyurethane screed, was used to create a durable, non-slip and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)-compliant floor. This solution has ensured a safe surface that can resist chemicals, physical damage and bacterial contamination. Want to know more about the project and Saint-Gobain’s products?
