To be sure, Saint-Gobain's products are not cheap, but demand for high-performance habitat products is increasing in China, said Gimeno.

Saint-Gobain China's pursuit of excellence goes beyond its products and systems. For three years now, it has bagged the "top employer" award of the Top Employers' Institute, an international organization devoted to research working conditions and human resources management.

"Every colleague is like an entrepreneur. Only in this way is sustainable innovation possible, which keeps the company going further continuously. The commitment to fulfill responsibilities, to care for people and investing for the future must be genuine. If it's not, people can tell from your eyes," said Gimeno.
