Sika continues to expand its presence in Central America having set up the 99th national subsidiary in El Salvador.

Whist being the smallest Central American country it has the highest population density (6m people)

The construction sector in El Salvador is forecast to grow by 5% per annum over the next few years driven mainly by infrastructure investment

This investment by Sika comes hot on the heels of two significant acquisitions in August, one in The Czech Republic, the other in Turkey, both of which will be fully integrated into our existing operating Companies in those countries.
