About GCP Applied Technologies Inc.

GCP Applied Technologies Inc. was a U.S. industrial specialty materials company focused on construction products and technologies, listed on the NYSE under the ticker GCP in the United States (United States) until its acquisition by Saint-Gobain in 2022. The company was incorporated in 2015 as part of the separation of W.R. Grace & Co.’s construction products and packaging technologies businesses, and began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange in February 2016. Its corporate headquarters was later moved from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to the Atlanta, Georgia metro area, while R&D remained in the Greater Boston area.

Its business was organized around two main segments: Specialty Construction Chemicals, which included concrete admixtures, cement additives, in-transit concrete monitoring and management systems, and other technologies designed to improve quality, performance, and productivity; and Specialty Building Materials, which covered membranes, waterproofing systems, air and vapor barriers, fireproofing products, and other solutions that protect structures from water, moisture, air penetration, and fire. This made GCP a technology-driven niche player rather than a volume commodity supplier.

It also expanded its commercial and manufacturing footprint internationally, with a meaningful share of sales historically generated outside the United States and operations across many countries. In December 2021, Saint-Gobain announced a definitive agreement to acquire GCP; the deal closed on September 27, 2022, and GCP was delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter. For investors, GCP is best understood as a former U.S.-listed construction specialty manufacturer whose strategic value came from technical formulations, application know-how, and global distribution reach.
