Sika has opened a new plant for the production of concrete admixtures in Stafford, Virginia. According to a press release , the additional production capacity and in combination with the existing plant in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, will serve the strong demand in the North East and Mid-Atlantic metropolitan areas more effectively.
Short transport routes for raw materials and end products reduce CO2 emissions and have a positive impact on operational efficiency. The performance of the new system is geared to the increasing demand from the announced infrastructure program in the amount of 200 to 250 billion Swiss francs.
For the construction industry, the signs in North America point to growth. The infrastructure will be modernized and expanded over the next few years with investments totaling CHF 1 trillion.
