Argentina: The Ministry of Economy has removed anti-dumping tariffs imposed upon imports of glass wool from Mexico. The decision follows an investigation requested by Saint-Gobain, according to Forbes. The government placed a tariff of 67% on the products in 2012 and this was later renewed in 2018 at the prompting of Saint-Gobain Argentina. Reportedly Saint-Gobain reached a glass wool capacity utilisation rate of 93% in 2023 and the company covers two-thirds of the market.
