The new facility aims to enhance customer service levels, accelerate product development processes, and support the achievement of sustainability goals in the construction industry. The site's production capacity will significantly expand Sika's supply capabilities in the Benelux region, while bringing the company closer to customer needs through shorter transport distances, faster response times, and enhanced local technical support.
The plant is equipped with advanced automation technology, integrating large-scale manufacturing with laboratories focused on product testing, application development, and innovation within the same campus. The expanded technical capabilities enable Sika to rapidly develop and deploy new solutions for ready-mix and precast concrete producers.
This investment is expected to accelerate time-to-market for new products, increase production flexibility, and enhance Sika's ability to meet customer demands. Additionally, the site supports the demand for more sustainable construction materials by helping customers reduce carbon emissions and achieve CO₂ reduction targets.
In addition to serving the Benelux market, the Ham plant is integrated into Sika's broader European production network, adding significant capacity and improving cross-border supply chain efficiency.
Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager for Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Sika, stated that by establishing the new site in Belgium, the company is strengthening its market position in this important region and further improving customer service through more localized and efficient production, as well as the development of regional application expertise. He noted that continuously aligning supply chain and production with customer needs lays the foundation for sustainable, profitable growth across the region.
