Sika is opening a new manufacturing site for mortars in Kryoneri, near Athens.
Complementary to Sika's existing concrete admixture plant in Thessaloniki,
northern Greece, the state-of-the-art manufacturing plant will drive forward the
mortar business in the country by broadening the current product portfolio and
opening up new market segments.
In addition to the mortar production unit, which has a capacity of 20,000 tons
per year, the facility will house a modern laboratory, as well as a new concrete
admixtures logistics hub for southern Greece. A production unit for liquid
applied membranes for waterproofing and roofing applications will be installed
in a subsequent step. The new premises in Greece enable Sika to offer its
customers an optimized supply chain, a locally produced and enhanced product
portfolio and a greater level of customer service.
Paul Schuler, Regional Manager EMEA: "Despite the challenging economic
environment in Greece, we are confident about the country's long-term potential.
Sika has a longstanding commitment to its local operations. Even when conditions
are challenging, we continue to develop our supply chain in well-defined
markets, expand our market share and strengthen Sika's competitive position."
