Panofrance had sales of approximately €160 million in 2020, around 30 points-of-sale throughout France and more than 600 employees. It will complement Dispano, a Saint-Gobain subsidiary specialized in the trade of timber products and by-products, with 46 points-of-sale in France and sales of €380 million in 2020.
