Sika opens new plant in Bolivia and doubles capacity

Sika’s new production facility for mortar and concrete admixtures is located outside of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in the country’s largest industrial park. It replaces the existing plant and effectively doubles the usable space. In addition to its excellent transport connections, the newly occupied site also has space for future expansion. The manufacturing plant, which is highly automated, not only increases efficiency but will also help make production more sustainable. Over and above this, Sika has expanded its warehousing capacity and administrative premises and has set up a training center for customers.
