Sika is opening a new mortar production facility at Coatzacoalcos in southeast
Mexico. The new plant will also take over the manufacture of concrete admixtures
from the previous production site at Villahermosa. Through its five factories,
Sika has now established a nationwide supply chain. With a population of 120
million, Mexico has one of the largest domestic markets in Latin America and is
investing heavily in infrastructure expansion.
José Luis Vázquez, Regional Manager Latin America: "The new production site at
Coatzacoalcos will strengthen our position in one of Mexico's four main business
centers. From here, we can supply construction projects in the metropolis of
Mexico City, as well as the booming tourist centers on the Gulf of Mexico. Sika
has invested strongly in the expansion of its production capacities in Mexico in
recent years and is recording good growth rates in the country."
Apart from supplying contractors with product technologies for major
construction projects, Sika is also intensifying business in the builders'
merchants sector. In 2016, sales of products to end users via building material
stores rose by 25%. This is due, among other things, to the extensive training
programs offered by Sika for merchants and end customers.
ROBUST GROWTH EXPECTED IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Mexico is Latin America's second biggest economy. The construction sector is
benefiting from the 2014-2018 National Infrastructure Program and the associated
CHF 600 billion of investments. The funds are spent on residential construction,
urban development and infrastructure projects in the transport, energy and water
sectors.
