Sika has opened a new mortar production facility in Bridgeton, New Jersey, which the company describes as its largest mortar manufacturing site in the United States. The highly automated facility expands Sika’s manufacturing capacity in the northeastern U.S. and is intended to support growing demand in major metropolitan markets including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.

The new facility produces a broad range of construction materials, including repair and leveling mortars, technical mortars, tile adhesives, and shotcrete solutions. According to Sika, the products are designed to support both new construction projects and the increasing demand for infrastructure and commercial building rehabilitation. The site will also manufacture products distributed through builders’ merchants and construction supply channels.

Sika said the expansion aligns with its strategy of strengthening its U.S. construction chemicals business through organic growth, acquisitions, and continued investment in innovation and manufacturing capabilities.

“Our new plant in Bridgeton is a strategic expansion of our production network in the USA and creates a solid basis for further growth in the northeastern part of the country,” said Mike Campion, regional manager Americas at Sika. “It enables us to quickly meet the growing demand from customers for our value-adding solutions and to further develop our presence in an economically strong region.”
