Outlook
After a year of even financial
results, which is a sign of
spectacular recovery following
a period of profound
restructuring, the objective
of the Sophiane Group is to
consolidate these achievements
by concentrating the positioning
of façade business on the most
technical niches.
These include the development
of “sub-structures”, to which
façade components are
attached, and coatings made
of Optratec glass, developed
and produced in co-operation
with G+H Isover and Vegla,
subsidiaries of the Saint-Gobain
Group.
G+H MONTAGE
produced
4,000 tailor-made
pieces of stainless
steel to cover the
“Tattoo” roof in
Berlin, Germany.
G+H MONTAGE participated
in the vast Potzdamer Platz
development project in Berlin,
Germany.
