Sika corporate expansion through acquisitions

Overview

Sika has undertaken several strategic acquisitions to expand its global presence in the adhesives and sealants market.

In September 2026, the company completed the acquisition of Akkim, a Turkey-based manufacturer. This move was designed to increase production capacity and establish a manufacturing and export hub, providing Sika with an established distribution network across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The acquisition also impacts the Spanish market through the integration of Akkim’s product range.

In October 2026, Sika reached an agreement to acquire the adhesives division of Japan’s Resonac Corporation. This acquisition focuses on strengthening Sika’s position within the automotive sector, particularly with Japanese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The deal provides expanded access to manufacturing sites and sales organizations in Japan, China, and Taiwan, while offering growth opportunities in high-value segments such as battery solutions.
