Sika continues its dedicated and successful expansion strategy. The company has
opened a new mortar manufacturing facility in Dubai and a concrete admixture
plant on Réunion. With these openings, Sika reacts to the growing demand in the
respective markets and strengthens its relationships with existing customers.
Paul Schuler, Sika Regional Manager EMEA, emphasizes the importance of the new
production facilities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and on Réunion: "The new
facilities are important milestones for Sika UAE and Sika Indian Ocean, allowing
us to produce and supply our innovative, high-quality and environmentally-
friendly products to satisfy the evolving requirements of our local clients.
With the plant in UAE, we further accelerate the implementation of our global
mortar strategy in the EMEA region. With 31% growth in 2014, mortar is Sika's
strongest growing product area as well as one of the key elements of the
Strategy 2018."
Since 2008, the company has been producing its innovative range of concrete
admixtures, additives and compounds in the UAE and provides customers in the
region with building adhesives, high performance grouts and repair mortars. The
new mortar manufacturing facility is located at Sika's local premises in Dubai
Investment Park and complements the mortar production of the company's existing
facilities in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Besides its local production plants,
Sika UAE also has warehouse facilities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the storage of
products manufactured by Sika companies worldwide in order to support the local
markets on the Arabian Peninsula with a full range of solutions for their
specific requirements.
On Réunion, Sika has been active for some 20 years through its subsidiary Sika
France. The new production facility for concrete admixtures covers the needs of
local construction companies and helps realize large-scale construction projects
such as the new highway "Route de Littoral".
