Rigips Rigips Specialist Contractor Advisory Board established

The newly formed Rigips Specialist Contractor Advisory Board, operating under the name "Rigips Experts – the Market Makers", met for the first time on 13 and 14 September 2023. Ten drywall company managing directors from across Germany gathered at the Rigips production site in Brieselang near Berlin to discuss the market and future challenges. The programme for the two-day meeting included a tour of one of Europe's largest gypsum board factories, as well as an intensive workshop led by the Rigips product management and research and development teams. The two days of committed and productive discussion were rounded off with a varied supporting programme.

Specialist drywall contractors, including "familiar faces" from the industry, were invited to an introductory meeting in the Brandenburg region of Havelland, home to the Rigips factory in Brieselang.

Closer to the market with professional expertise

"With the expertise of the "Rigips Experts", we aim to be closer to the market than ever before, covering everything from product management and research and development to sales", explains Danijel Lučić, who is both Sales Director at SAINT-GOBAIN ISOVER G+H AG and Sales Manager at SAINT-GOBAIN RIGIPS GmbH. "The members of the advisory board are professionals in modern drywall construction. We want to involve these experts in our considerations for product and system development, as well as in developing marketing messages. Their feedback is extremely valuable to us when making important decisions."

Discussion about the market of the future

The tour of the Rigips factory in Brieselang, which provided a detailed insight into the production process, marked the beginning of the intensive two-day event, which focused on the topic of digitalisation. The focus was on how the market for drywall products and systems could evolve in light of climate change and the trend towards sustainable construction methods, and how digitalisation could positively influence the entire process. The results of the discussions will form the basis for the second meeting of the Rigips Specialist Contractor Advisory Board, planned as an online event later this year.
