Sika recently announced it has opened a new mortar manufacturing facility in Dubai and a concrete admixture plant on Réunion, United Arab Emirates. These openings reportedly help Sika react to the growing demand in the respective markets and strengthen its relationships with existing customers.

“The new facilities are important milestones for Sika UAE and Sika Indian Ocean, allowing us to produce and supply our innovative, high-quality and environmentally friendly products to satisfy the evolving requirements of our local clients,” said Paul Schuler, Sika Regional Manager EMEA. “With the plant in UAE, we further accelerate the implementation of our global mortar strategy in the EMEA region. With 31% growth in 2014, mortar is Sika’s strongest growing product area, as well as one of the key elements of the Strategy 2018.”
