Sika has inaugurated three new manufacturing facilities located in China, Brazil, and Morocco.

Sika is advancing its Local-for-Local strategy with the launch of three new manufacturing facilities in China, Brazil, and Morocco—strengthening its commitment to providing local production, global expertise, and sustainable innovation to its customers.

By expanding its presence in key markets, Sika is actively implementing its growth strategy—reinforcing its global reach while positioning itself for future expansion. These site developments form part of a broader initiative to deepen market penetration and align production capabilities more closely with regional customer demands.

In Suzhou, a rapidly growing metropolitan hub, Sika has expanded its existing facility to support China’s urbanisation efforts. Serving a population of over 12 million, the upgraded site focuses on high-viscosity polyurethane technologies, delivering advanced bonding and sealing solutions for the automotive, construction, and industrial sectors. These innovations contribute to improved durability, enhanced performance, and greater design flexibility in critical applications.

Sika has further strengthened its presence in Latin America with the expansion of its site near Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The addition of admixture production enhances the company's capabilities in one of Brazil’s most strategically vital industrial zones. Situated in Minas Gerais—Brazil’s leading state for concrete production and a central hub for the mining industry—the facility is positioned to serve key customers in the ready-mix concrete, cement, and mining sectors.

In the EMEA region, Sika has launched a new mortar and admixtures plant near Agadir, Morocco. Strategically located to support the southern region of the country and nearby markets, the facility features advanced production technologies and is tailored to meet rising demand for construction materials in this fast-growing area. This investment underscores Sika’s commitment to expanding regional capacity, improving product availability, and providing more responsive, locally focused service across Morocco and Mauritania.

"These site investments reflect the trust our customers place in us and our long-term commitment to the markets we serve,” says Thomas Hasler, CEO. “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," said Thomas Hasler, Chief Executive Officer

Market Outlook

Sika’s recent site expansions are strategically aligned with long-term growth trends in some of the world’s most rapidly developing construction markets. In all three countries—China, Brazil, and Morocco—the construction sector is projected to grow at an annual rate exceeding 4.0% through 2028.

In China, ongoing investment in infrastructure, renewable energy, and high-tech manufacturing is set to reshape the construction landscape. Brazil’s construction industry is regaining momentum, driven by rising demand across residential, commercial, and industrial segments—reflecting renewed economic confidence. Meanwhile, in Morocco, substantial public investment and large-scale infrastructure initiatives are positioning the country as a key regional development hub.

Through these targeted investments, Sika is well equipped to address growing demand with agile, locally tailored solutions that support sustainable, long-term market development.
