Last year was the second best by growth rate of the last five years.

“It was a difficult year, with lots of challenges considering the acquisitions made, but excellent in terms of results. We definitely expect growth for 2020, considering the synergies that should come from the investments and acquisitions made lately. I hope the growth will be double-digit again,” says Laurentiu Stefanescu, general manager of Sika Romania.

Sika Romania has three plants, one that makes additives for concrete in Brasov, a mortar and special adhesive plant in Capusu Mare, Cluj, and another facility in Sfantu Gheorghe, Covasna, which it bought from Arcon. In November 2019, Sika announced the acquisition of AdePlast for more than EUR100 million, according to construction industry sources.(EUR1=RON4.7769)
