Sika ramps up production in the USA

Baar/Stafford – Sika from the canton of Zug has opened a manufacturing plant for concrete admixtures in Stafford in the U.S. state of Virginia. In combination with its other plant near Philadelphia, Sika will now have production capacity to meet the strong demand from continued growth in the construction sector in North America.

Sika has opened a new manufacturing plant for concrete admixtures on stream in Stafford in the U.S. state of Virginia. Together with the existing plant in Fairless Hills in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, the increased production capacity enables the company to service customers in the North East and Mid-Atlantic regions even more efficiently, as was reported in a press release.

Moreover, short transportation routes for raw materials and end products will enhance operational efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions at the same time. The new plant is well positioned to support the additional needs of the announced infrastructure program of 200 to 250 billion Swiss francs.

The construction industry is on a growth trajectory in the North American market. Over the next few years, the equivalent of more than 1.0 trillion francs will be invested in modernizing and expanding infrastructure in North America alone.
