Sika AG is a global leader in specialty chemicals, focusing on developing and producing systems for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protecting in the construction and industrial sectors. The company operates in over 102 countries with more than 400 production sites worldwide.
In its latest half-year report for 2025, Sika AG reported a 1.6% increase in net sales in local currencies, though sales in Swiss francs decreased by 2.7% due to currency effects. The company maintained a high material margin of 55.1% and increased its EBITDA margin to 18.9%, despite challenges such as a weaker US dollar and global market uncertainties.
Key highlights from the report include the acquisition of four companies and the investment in seven new plants, which are part of Sika’s strategy to strengthen its global market position. The company also reported a slight recovery in the EMEA region and continued growth in the Americas, although the Asia/Pacific region saw a slight decline in sales due to challenges in the Chinese market.
Looking forward, Sika AG remains optimistic about its growth prospects, expecting a modest sales increase in local currencies for the full year 2025. The company aims to achieve an over-proportional increase in EBITDA and maintains its strategic medium-term targets for sustainable, profitable growth by 2028.
