Welcome to Sika in New Zealand
GLOBAL PRESENCE
Sika was founded in 1910 in Zurich, Switzerland by the inventor Kaspar Winkler. Sika’s first generation of concrete admixtures immediately earned widespread acclaim, by providing such vital benefits as faster setting times and waterproofing. These legendary admixture systems quickly propelled Sika into early and sustained growth. They were the products that laid the foundations for today’s worldwide Sika group and its industry prominence.
Today the Sika Group concentrates its activities on construction chemicals as its core business with a very strong focus in the marine, industrial flooring and automotive industries.
LOCAL PRESENCE
Sika has been in New Zealand since 1959.
Whenever there is a need to build or maintain a structure Sika is on hand with the right concepts and technologies. The emphasis for Sika is on providing integrated system solutions to meet every requirement - be it admixtures for enhancing the performance of ready mixed concrete, sealing and waterproofing of concrete structures, concrete repair and protection, epoxy flooring systems, or engineering applications for tunnels.
All of the Sika products used in New Zealand have been proven around the world, often over many years. For this reason projects requiring a very long design life such as Wellington's Te Papa - Museum of New Zealand and Auckland's Sky City Casino complex called for a wide range of Sika's durable concrete admixtures, sealants, epoxies, grouts and flooring systems.
The international reputation and proven performance of Sika products worldwide gives our customers the reassurance to use them at local level.
