About us

Sika is a specialty chemicals company with a globally leading position in the development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protection in the building sector and industry. Sika has subsidiaries in 102 countries around the world, produces in over 400 factories, and develops innovative technologies for customers worldwide. In doing so, it plays a crucial role in enabling the transformation of the construction and transportation industries toward greater environmental compatibility.

Protecting

Protecting extends the durability of load-bearing structures and preserves the substance of new and renovated objects. Sika solutions guarantee sustained protection against climatic conditions, chemical influence, pollution and fire for concrete and steel structures.

Damping

In fixed and moving objects, damping reduces vibrations of all wavelengths, resulting in fewer reverberations and noise emissions in load-bearing structures and cavities. Noise in vehicle interiors, for example – whether in a car, a bus or a cruise ship – is silenced, and comfort increases significantly.

Reinforcing

Reinforcing bolsters the carrying capacity of statically or dynamically stressed load-bearing structures in a targeted manner, from lightweight window frames to crash-resistant automotive bodies to imposing concrete bridges. Solutions for reinforcing fortify existing and optimize new load-bearing structures.

Bonding

Bonding joins different materials permanently, elastically and securely. Vehicles, windows, and even concrete elements of several tons for bridges are bonded using new processes. Sika bonding technologies increase the safety of end products and enable greater freedom of design. These applications also optimize the manufacturing process by reducing cycle times.

Sealing

Sealing minimizes the flow of gases and liquids between cavities and interstices as well as the dissemination and transfer of heat or cold. Immense flat roofs, complicated tunnel constructions, easily damageable water reservoirs and sophisticated façades are durably impervious to wind and rain, resistant to temperature, age and vibration. The functionality and comfort of rooms within are thereby enhanced.

Sika - A Global Leader with Values and Principles

The Sika Spirit is a synonym of the strong set of values and principles which makes up the DNA of the company. Five management principles express the corporate culture and are the foundation of future success.

From Then to Now - Our History

Kaspar Winkler founded his business in 1910. His first inventions were agents to protect and clean granite (Conservado, Purigo) and a mortar waterproofing agent called Sika. From difficult beginnings, to an economic boom, a broader product range and continuous fast growth, Sika has a remarkable history.

Sika Brand

The Sika Brand stands for quality, innovation, and service. Branding lends products a distinct identity and associates them with a specific set of values. This fact was recognized early in Sika’s history by founder Kaspar Winkler, who coined the company’s name and designed its logo.
