Thomas Hasler, Chief Executive Officer: “Adhesives and sealants represent a key competitive strength for Sika and offer attractive opportunities for further growth. We are ideally positioned to gain additional market share in this sector. Moreover, the acquisition of Akkim has created a highly scalable platform that allows us to further accelerate our growth trajectory and double Akkim’s sales within five years. At the same time, our strong innovation pipeline enables us to deliver sustainable, high-performance solutions that create significant value for our customers.”
