The start-up Mesh specialises in robotic construction, reinforcement and formwork and, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/che.sika.com\/de\/news\/2026\/sika-treibt-digitalisierung-durch-beteiligung-an-mesh-voran.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> from Sika, has completed a funding round totalling &euro;2.9 million. Alongside Sika, participants included <a href=\"https:\/\/new.abb.com\/products\/robotics\/de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABB Robotics<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shimz.co.jp\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shimizu Corporation<\/a> from Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">MESH was founded in 2022 as a spin-off from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethz.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich<\/a>. With partners such as Sika, Mesh developed the first robotic process between 2019 and 2021 that enables complex shapes to be produced without formwork. &ldquo;In robot-assisted production, it doesn&rsquo;t matter whether something is straight or curved: complexity comes at no extra cost,&rdquo; explains Mesh CEO and co-founder Ammar Mirjan in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sika.com\/de\/media\/insights\/sikanews\/conquering-construction-with-robots.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> published by Sika. &ldquo;This gives architects and building clients new creative freedoms.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">According to Sika, over a million reinforcement elements have already been installed in Switzerland using Mesh technology. These solutions have been used in demanding large-scale projects such as the new Gotthard Road Tunnel, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">&ldquo;Through our investment in Mesh, we are investing in one of the world&rsquo;s most innovative technologies for robot-assisted manufacturing in industrial series production,&rdquo; Sika&rsquo;s Head of Construction, Ivo Sch&auml;dler, is quoted as saying in the press release. &ldquo;Combined with our materials expertise, we are creating new opportunities for significant improvements in efficiency, quality and sustainability in the construction industry.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">According to Ammar Mirjan, the partnership with Sika and other international industry leaders marks &ldquo;a decisive turning point for Mesh on its journey from regional innovator to global technology provider&rdquo;. He describes the funding round as a key milestone in driving growth by combining digital manufacturing with advanced material solutions &ldquo;and jointly tapping into new business potential around the world&rdquo;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The construction chemicals group Sika has taken part in a funding round for Mesh.
