Sika opens new factory in Thailand

The unit is located 100 km North of Bangkok

Sika inaugurates a mortars and concrete admixtures plant in Thailand, their second factory in the country, reports Nasdaq.

The new facility is located in Saraburi, 100 km North of Bangkok, and it will enable Sika to meet the needs of Thailand's construction market, expand its local product portfolio and continue its growth. 

"After our existing plant in Chonburi reached its limits, we consequently invested in additional production capacities. The new plant will enable us to maintain our strong growth in Thailand in terms of production volume, sales and market share. South East Asia is one of the regions where Sika generates some of the Group's highest growth rates, and we are well positioned to continue this positive development," said Heinz Gisel, Regional Manager Asia-Pacific.

The factory is one of the company largest plants in South East Asia. It has a production capacity of 100,000 tons of mortars and 65,000 tons of concrete admixtures per year.

Sika entered the Thailand market in 1988 and has another plant in Chonburi.
