Sika is strengthening its local-for-local strategy through new manufacturing investments in China, Brazil, and Morocco, aiming to enhance regional responsiveness while delivering global expertise and sustainable innovation.
The company stated that expanding its presence in these key markets will not only support its global growth ambitions but also align production capacity with local customer needs, helping to increase market penetration.
In China, Sika has extended its Suzhou site to support rapid urbanization. The upgraded facility focuses on high-viscosity polyurethane technologies, used in bonding and sealing solutions across the automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.
In Brazil, the company is expanding its site near Belo Horizonte, adding capabilities for concrete admixtures. Similarly, in Morocco, Sika has opened a new plant near Agadir to produce mortars and admixtures, further enhancing its footprint in North Africa.
“These site investments reflect the trust our customers place in us and our long-term commitment to the markets we serve,” said CEO Thomas Hasler. “By expanding our local manufacturing capabilities, we are not only improving responsiveness—we are building a resilient, sustainable foundation for growth alongside our long-time customers and partners.”
