This corresponds to year-on-year growth of 13.8 per cent. In local currencies, growth of 20.1 per cent was recorded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The MBCC acquisition, consolidated from May 2023, was the main contributor to the new sales record, Sika explains. Specifically, the former construction chemicals business of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basf.com\/global\/en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BASF Group<\/a> accounted for the lion&rsquo;s share of sales growth with acquisition effects totalling 19.9 percent. In addition, Sika achieved double-digit sales growth in local currencies in all market regions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">&ldquo;Sika has made a dynamic start to the new financial year and achieved strong growth in the first quarter&rdquo;, Group CEO Thomas Hasler is quoted as saying in the press release. According to the company, Sika also continued to grow organically in a declining overall market. &ldquo;The successful integration of MBCC with its complementary products and markets and its highly motivated employees is generating additional growth and will enable us to further increase our market share,&rdquo; says Hasler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">For the current business year as a whole, Sika anticipates sales growth of between 6 and 9 per cent in local currencies. The operating result at EBITDA level should increase disproportionately to sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sika increased its sales in the first quarter by double digits compared to the previous year.
