Sika increases production capacity with new high-tech facility

Sika opens a modern facility to meet the growing demand for high-performance mortars and admixtures in Kazakhstan’s construction industry.

A new production facility with mortar and concrete admixture production lines and a state-of-the-art laboratory has been opened by Sika in Ust-Kamenogorsk. The plant is Sika’s fourth in Kazakhstan, and it is located in a strategic industrial zone in the country’s east. As a construction chemicals leader, Sika is involved in large-scale projects in Kazakhstan, a rapidly expanding market.

The opening of the new production facility in Ust-Kamenogorsk marks a significant strategic milestone for Sika, expanding its presence in a key region. Kazakhstan is one of the world’s richest mineral resource countries, with an expanding mining industry and many companies in the chemical, energy, and automotive sectors concentrated in the country’s east. As these industries expand, so does the demand for residential housing, with both market segments driving strong demand for Sika’s products. 

“The new production plant in eastern Kazakhstan will enable us to meet the growing demand from the mining and construction industries for high-performance mortars and concrete admixtures. With an abundance in minerals, Kazakhstan presents significant opportunities, and we are committed to serving this region with our innovative solutions,” says Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager EMEA

Kazakhstan’s construction industry is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 4.2 percent until 2028, driven by investments in energy projects, water storage reservoirs, transportation infrastructure, and industrial parks. The current value of construction projects across the country is estimated to be around CHF 160 billion.
