Sika acordó adquirir KVK Holding a.s, con sede en Praga, República Checa, un fabricante líder de sistemas de impermeabilización y techado, así como una amplia gama de productos de mortero. KVK generó ventas de CHF 42 millones en 2016. La transacción está sujeta a la autorización de las autoridades antimonopolio.
KVK operates six production sites – three for the manufacture of mortar products, two for bituminous membranes and one for expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS ) for Building Envelope solutions. With these strategically located facilities Sika will strengthen its production platform and expand its geographical footprint in the growing Czech market.
The product portfolio of KVK is highly complementary to Sika’s and will allow the combined businesses to offer a comprehensive range of systems for the construction industry. Furthermore, KVK’s strong relationships with major builders’ merchants will allow Sika to significantly enhance its presence in the Czech market.
"KVK is a proven industry leader, with a product portfolio and geographical presence that will increase our market penetration and support our growth strategy. The acquisition also brings us manufacturing expertise for waterproofing and insulation solutions. We proudly welcome the KVK employees to the Sika team and are excited about growing our business together." Ivo Schädler, Regional Manager EMEA
