February 12, 2025 – Chryso, a global leader in sustainable construction solutions and part of Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals, is proud to announce the expansion of its Canadian concrete innovations and operations.

As the Canadian construction market faces critical challenges, including labor and material shortages, rising demand for sustainable building practices, and the push for locally sourced materials, Chryso is stepping up with advanced solutions tailored to meet the industry’s evolving needs.

Chryso’s investment in Canada enhances access to its sustainable solutions and expertise. The comprehensive technical support, application labs, and manufacturing and distribution facilities in Canada, ensures that Canadian customers receive localized knowledge and the latest innovations.

“Sustainable construction materials are no longer optional,” said Chryso North America President Steve Williams. “The Canada Green Building Council predicts that green construction will make up 25 percent of the market by 2025. Construction firms have already been embracing the shift to sustainable practices, adopting green materials, energy-efficient systems, and waste-reduction strategies.”
