A production unit for liquid applied membranes for waterproofing and roofing applications will be installed later. The new site enables Sika to offer its customers inGreece an optimised supply chain, a locally produced and enhanced product portfolio and a greater level of customer service.
Paul Schuler, Regional Manager EMEA: “Despite the challenging economic environment in Greece, we are confident about the country’s long-term potential. Sika has a longstanding commitment to its local operations. Even when conditions are challenging, we continue to develop our supply chain in well-defined markets, expand our market share and strengthen Sika’s competitive position.”
