Mergers and Acquisitions

M&A: Targeted opening of new market opportunities

Organic growth stands at the center of enterprise strategy at Sika. The acquisition strategy targets above all the enhancement by new technologies that strengthen or complement core business. Sika aims to leverage the full potential of these new technologies on a worldwide basis.

If geographic gaps of strategic significance require closure or if fragmented markets require consolidation, then acquisition of market share can also be attractive for Sika. Since acquired companies are integrated entirely into Sika, great value is placed on a smooth integration process. Sika therefore devotes particular attention to corporate culture prior to an acquisition.
