The expansion is the company’s response to high demand in the region.
By opening a new mortar production facility in Jiaxing City, in the province of Zhejiang in Eastern China, Sika reports that it has further expanded its production capacity in the rapidly growing Chinese construction market. The commissioning of the new facility is Sika’s response to high demand in the region. At the same time, according to the company, this step guarantees optimized logistics, shorter transportation routes for raw materials and finished goods, and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
With its latest investment in the expansion and improvement of its supply chain in China, Sika is targeting further growth in the greater Zhejiang region, one of China’s most economically prosperous areas. Technologies for construction projects in Eastern China had previously been produced at the company’s Shanghai and Suzhou plants. Sika can now meet customers’ demand locally in all three metropolitan regions with a booming construction economy, providing a more sustainable and service-oriented solution.
