In the first half of the year, Sika delivered improved momentum, with the second quarter building on our good start to the year. Our investments in industry-leading innovation, efficient global manufacturing and sourcing, and our digital transformation allowed us to continue to gain market share throughout the first half of the year. Our focus on delivering a best-in-class customer value proposition and forging strong customer partnerships meant that we outpaced the construction market. As a result of our accelerating leadership in strategically important growth segments such as infrastructure and data centers, we expect to continue outperforming the industry.​" Thomas Hasler Chief Executive Officer
