SIG was founded by Ernest Adsetts in 1957 in Sheffield, UK. We started as a specialist insulation marketing and distribution business and have grown from a single-site insulation distributor into a leading multinational business supplying insulation and interior fit-out products and roofing and exteriors products to customers across Europe.
SIG is a people-to-people business, founded on trusted relationships with manufacturers and customers. Our commercial success also depends on responsible entrepreneurship – local businesses empowered to succeed, where our people feel safe, proud, and valued, and where local communities benefit from our positive social impact.
Throughout our history, SIG has supported better energy efficiency standards and a greater focus on the environment. Now, as the construction industry responds to the climate emergency and rising energy costs, we are determined to use our influence, at the centre of the building materials supply chain, to significantly reduce industry’s environmental impact.
