Sika Begins Production of Epoxy Resins in Qatar, Expands Capacity for Concrete Admixtures
Local production facilities will allow Sika to comply with Qatar's state sourcing policy that stipulates preference be given to domestically manufactured products.
Sika recently announced that it has started manufacturing epoxy resins and has expanded its production capacity for concrete admixtures in Qatar. Epoxy resins are key components in high-quality floor coverings and adhesives. With its enlarged portfolio and its local production capacity, Sika reports that its goal is to exploit market potential and drive forward the focused expansion of its business in the region.
This latest investment in expansion in Qatar's capital, Doha, will reportedly help Sika to continue building its business in this fast-growing region so that it can benefit from the dynamic development in the construction market. The sector is being boosted in particular by major projects and the expansion of energy and utilities infrastructure, as well as stimuli induced by government tenders. Thanks to its local production facilities, Sika is also able to comply with the terms applicable to construction projects in the country. Qatar's state sourcing policy stipulates that preference must be given to domestically manufactured products.
