Heinz Gisel, President of Sika Asia/Pacific, said: “Our presence in Sri Lanka complements Sika’s supply chain in the Asia/Pacific region. It is the third step we have taken in 2014 to accelerate Sika’s growth in the region following the inauguration of new plants in Surabaya, Indonesia, and Jhagadia, India. It effectively proves our ability to quickly gain ground in promising markets and to grasp business opportunities arising in Asia.”
