SIKA OPENS MORTAR PLANT IN ETHIOPIA

After building a production facility for concrete
admixtures in 2016, it is hoped that the new plant will be the next step in
improving the Ethiopian construction market.

Ivo Schädler, EMEA Regional
Manager said, “With the new plant in Ethiopia, we are pursuing the
implementation of our Africa strategy. Thanks to the new facility, we will
provide the market with locally manufactured technical mortars, and our tile
adhesives range to serve the need for more sophisticated and technically
advanced building materials.

“With our strong local presence,
we can adapt products to meet the specific customer requirements, and make
products available with shorter delivery times. We are thus creating the ideal
conditions for participating in the country’s dynamic construction market.”

Investment projects sponsored by
the Ethiopian government are aimed at rapidly developing the country’s
infrastructure and making a major contribution to the dynamic development of
this country.

According to estimates, the construction industry in Ethiopia is set to grow by 12% in 2019 and by 8% to 9% on average between 2019 and 2028.https://www.worldcement.com/africa-middle-east/14112019/sika-opens-mortar-plant-in-ethiopia/
