Formerly Lafarge Gypsum, Continental Building Products is a North American leader in wallboard and joint compound materials. Our heritage in North America stretches back to 1956 when Lafarge first established its presence on the continent. Lafarge entered the drywall market in the 1990s and began embracing synthetic gypsum as a primary raw material near the decade's end, as synthetic gypsum offered a new level of product consistency and environmental sustainability. In 2013, Lafarge Gypsum transformed into its own company - Continental Building Products, a name that honors our renewed focus on North America.
