Sika opened a new production plant in Palin in the metropolitan area of Guatemala City.
The portfolio of locally manufactured products includes concrete admixtures, mortars, and liquid applied membranes, which will be used to supply the neighboring countries of Honduras and El Salvador as well as the domestic market.
New production lines at the site have been installed for mortars and acrylic liquid applied membranes, and existing production lines for concrete admixtures have been relocated and modernized.
The new plant and supply center will result in a six-fold increase in overall capacity.
Its modular design means it can be enlarged when demand rises.
"In particular, we also want to benefit from the planned investments in infrastructure and the transport sector, which will include new facilities for water supply and schools, as well as bridges and roads,” said Christoph Ganz, regional manager Americas.
