Growth, innovation and sustainability

Sika’s worldwide R&D strategy strives for sustainable technology and cost leadership focussing on seven product technologies and on strengthening Sika’s leading market position its clearly defined target markets. In this context R&D aims to support Sika’s strive for market leadership or a strong number two.

Two forces propel research and development at Sika. These are on one hand global  trends defined by the principles of sustainable development, such as the demand for building methods that conserve resources, for energy-saving construction materials or lower-weight motor vehicles. On the other hand diverse local specificities of the construction industry such as differences in raw materials, climate or legal regulations require adaptation of products to meet local needs.
