In 1917, when French Prime Minister Clemenceau was saved from an assassin’s bullet.
The bullet was stopped by the glass Windshield of his car. And the glass was from
Saint-Gobain.
The twentieth century ushered in the modern era of the glass industry. Automobiles
revolutionized transportation while skyscrapers redefined the skyline. The ever-evolving
needs of form function and aesthetics placed greater demands on the quality and
diversity of glass products required. And Saint-Gobain was ready for the challenge.
With its firm commitment to quality, huge investments in technology and unmatched
passion for innovation, Saint-Gobain led the development in the glass industry. Saint-
Gobain invented the revolutionary twin-grinding process and pioneered bent-glass
technology, while promoting tempered glass usage through the well known Security
brand and establishing new Standards in manufacturing quality float glass. These were
5
also the milestones which paved the way for Saint-Gobain in establishing a firm
foundation for the future.

Glass can be made transparent and flat, or into other shapes and
colors as shown in this sphere from the Verrerie of Brehat in
Brittany.
The major raw material of glass is sand (or "quartz sand") that
contains almost 100 % of crystalline silica in the form of quartz.
Although it is almost pure quartz, it may still contain a small amount
(less than 1 %) of iron oxides that would color the glass, so this sand is
usually depleted before production to reduce the iron oxide amount to
less than 0.05 %. Large natural single crystals of quartz are pure
silicon dioxide, and upon crushing are used for high quality specialty
glasses. Synthetic amorphous silica, an almost 100 % pure form of
quartz, is the raw material for the most expensive specialty

HISTORY OF THE GLASS
A piece of Obsidian
Naturally occurring glass, such as obsidian, has been used since the
stone age. According to Pliny the Elder, the Phoenicians made the
first glass:
The tradition is that a merchant ship laden with nitrum (soda and
potash) being moored at this place, the merchants were preparing
their meal on the beach, and not having stones to prop up their pots,
they used lumps of nitrum from the ship, which fused and mixed
with the sands of the shore, and there flowed streams of a new
translucent liquid, and thus was the origin of glass.
8
That the Phoenicians used glass as a glaze for pottery was known as
early as 3000 BC. However, there is archaeological evidence to
support the claim that the first glass was made in Mesopotamia.
Glass beads, seals, and architectural decorations date from around
2500 BC. Glass was also discovered by Native Americans during the
same time period.
The Egyptians also made small jars and bottles using the core-
formed method. Glass threads were wound around a bag of sand tied
to a rod. The glass was continually reheated to fuse the threads
9
together. The glass-covered sand bag was kept in motion until the
required shape and thickness was achieved. The rod was allowed to
cool, then finally the bag was punctured and the rod removed. The
Egyptians also created the first colored glass rods which they used to
create colorful beads and decorations. They also worked with cast
glass, which was produced by pouring molten glass into a mold,
much like iron and the more modern crucible steel. By the 5th
century BC this technology had spread to Greece and beyond. In the
first century BC there were many glass centres located around the
Mediterranean. Around this time, at the eastern end of the
Mediterranean, glass blowing, both free-blowing and mould-
blowing, was discovered.
Romans
Roman Glass
The Roman Empire developed many new techniques for the creation
of glass. Through conquest and trade, the use of glass objects and the
techniques used for producing them were spread as far as
Scandinavia, the British Isles and China. This spreading of
10
technology resulted in glass artists congregating in areas such as
Alexandria in Egypt where the famous Portland Vase was created,
the Rhine Valley where Bohemian glass was developed and to
Byzantium where glass designs became very ornate and where
processes such as enamelling, staining and gilding were developed.
At this time many glass objects, such as seals, windows, pipes, and
vases were manufactured. Window glass was commonly used during
the 1st century BC. Examples found in Karanis, Egypt were
translucent and very thick. After the fall of the Empire, the Emperor
Constantine moved to Byzantium where the use of glass continued.
However, in the rest of the Empire, the use of glass declined and
many techniques were forgotten. The production of glass did not
completely stop, it was used throughout the Anglo-Saxon period in
Britain. But it did not become common again in the West until its
resurgence in the 7th century.
Europe
Glass objects from the 7th and 8th centuries have been found on the
island of Torcello near Venice. These form an important link
between Roman times and the later importance of that city in the
production of the material. Around 1000 AD, an important technical
breakthrough was made in Northern Europe when soda glass,
produced from white pebbles and burnt vegetation was replaced by
glass made from a much more readily available material: potash
obtained from wood ashes. From this point on, northern glass
differed significantly from that made in the Mediterranean area,
where soda remained in common use.
The cylinder method of creating flat glass was first used in the
United States of America in the 1820s. It was used to commercially
produce windows. This and other types of hand-blown sheet glass
was replaced in the 20th century by rolled plate glass.
Glass in buildings
Glass has been used in buildings since the 11th century. Uses for
glass in buildings include as a transparent material for windows, as
internal glazed partitions and as architectural features.

BRAND EQUITY AND MEDIA
EFFICIENCY OF THE
SAINT-GOBAIN
Brand loyalty:
38
The survey done by our group reveals that a large chunk of
customers (65%) have recommended the brand Saint-Gobain to
others and another 82% of them would definitely recommend others.
This reflects that the customers were loyal and indifferent towards
the brand. Some of the customers surveyed had intense loyalty
towards the brand.
Therefore, we could inter from the above that brand Saint- Gobain
enjoys customer loyalty to the highest levels. This means Saint-
Gobain as a single brand is very strong in the views of its customers
which would help saint-Gobain in building its brand very strong.
Brand Awareness:
Media Efficiency:
The company is using only few Medias such as visual media, print
media, and point of purchase as the sources according to the
customer survey visual media and print media are placed 1&2nd
So the saint gobain has been using effective Medias for their
promotion.
39
SUGGESTIONS:
Media and internet & call centers. But according to customer opinion like
business.
