the market leader in liquid waterproofing in Japan with well established brands
and channels. The consolidated net sales in 2009 were approximately JPY 14
billion (about CHF 165 million) with around 350 employees.
Dyflex was established in 1964 by Mr. Keisei Miura. The founder and CEO, Mr.

complementary to Sika's and will be rolled-out to other countries through the
