About Saint-Gobain NorPro
Our 150+ Year History
Saint-Gobain NorPro has been servicing the petrochemical, chemical, refining, environmental and gas processing industries for over 150 years. While we've evolved over the years, we still follow the same core values that we started with.
Our business began in 1859. Back then we were known as the United States Stoneware Company. We produced chemical stoneware in the design and fabrication of random packing used in chemical processing reactors.
In 1966 we were acquired by the Norton Company and became Norton Chemical Process Products (Norton CPPC), which grew to include not only ceramic random packing for heat and mass transfer applications, but also custom catalyst carriers and catalyst bed support media for refining, gas processing and petrochemical applications.
Saint-Gobain, one of the largest industrial corporations in the world, acquired the Norton Company in 1990. The Norton CPPC name was changed to Saint-Gobain NorPro to reflect the change in ownership and direction. Today, Saint-Gobain NorPro is an international company with an undisputed leadership position in providing an impressive collection of engineered ceramic media and shapes.
