We are proud to announce that we are changing out company name from Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics to Saint-Gobain ADFORS. Our previous name was a descriptive phrase; our new name will be a trademarked brand name that has its own unique identity. This will enable us to create greater equity as we provide more value to our customers.

The ADFORS brand was created using a leading international agency that specializes in developing global brand names. The name was created on two very straightforward roots: "ad" (to add, to join, to combine), and "fors" (force, reinforcement).

ADFORS means to "add reinforcement" to your building products.

The Bank of Canada today announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 1/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 3/4 per cent.

The global economic recovery is proceeding broadly as expected in the Bank’s April Monetary Policy Report (MPR). The U.S. economy continues to grow at a modest pace, limited by the consolidation of household balance sheets. Growth in Europe is maintaining momentum, although the risks related to peripheral economies have increased. The disasters that struck Japan in March are severely affecting its economic activity and causing temporary supply chain disruptions in advanced economies. Commodity prices have declined recently but are expected to remain at elevated levels, supported by tight global supply and very strong demand from emerging markets. These high prices, combined with persistent excess demand conditions in major emerging-market economies, are contributing to broader global inflationary pressures.

Despite the challenges that weigh on the global outlook, financial conditions remain very stimulative.
