Sika commences operations at Bekasi concrete plant

Indonesia: Switzerland-based Sika has begun producing concrete admixtures and mortars at its Bekasi plant on the island of Java. “This new facility in Greater Jakarta will enable us to further expand our strong position relative to the rapidly growing demand for quality building materials in Indonesia,” said Sika Regional Manager Asia/Pacific Mike Campion. He noted a Euro293m infrastructure investment by the government of Indonesia, Asia’s fifth-largest construction market, which he predicted will grow at 7% for the next 10 years.
