Recitel’s nine-month sales fail to match growing volumes

Written by Global Insulation staff
04 November 2019

Netherlands: Nine-month restated sales for Recitel fell by 7.3% year-on-year to Euro924m in September 2019 compared to Euro997m in the corresponding period of 2018. Despite ‘double-digit’ volume growth, insulation sales over the period fell by 4.5% to Euro193m from Euro202m due to pricing issues stemming from the loss of market share to fibre insulation as a lingering after-effect of the isocyanate shortage of 2017. The company noted the ‘ramping-up’ of production at its new plant in Finland, with all products now certified for sale in the Nordic countries. Recticel CEO Olivier Chapelle noted the continued substantial decrease in debt as a positive in the period.

Fire service failures deflect Saint-Gobain suspicions

Written by Global Insulation staff
01 November 2019

UK: French-based Saint-Gobain has received vindication in its attempted deflection of liability for alleged harm done by flammable insulation products designed, manufactured and sold by its subsidiary Celotex with the revelation of systematic failures in the London Fire Brigade response to the Grenfell disaster on the night of 13 – 14 June 2017. BBC News reported that the Phase One Report, published on 29 October 2019, identified ‘serious shortcomings’ in large-scale incident management training for control room supervisors, with a ‘stay-put’ advisory strategy rescinded 60 to 80 minutes too late at 2:47AM.
