Global Technology Center Preston

One proof of Sika's successful strategy is the fact, that resources of acquired companies and brands are used as growth platforms. Two excellent examples are the build up of two Global Technology Centers.

Following the acquisition of Liquid Plastics and Incorez in the UK in 2009, Sika has continued to invest in its Preston facilities and into the further development of roof waterproofing and internal floor coatings. Sika's aim is to produce technically advanced and environmentally friendly liquid roofing membranes, positioning Sika as a global leader within this field.

The investment on the Preston facilities paid out.  The Global Technology Center opened in 2014 and is twice as large as the previous structure, covering more than a thousand square meters. The state of the art facility encourages teamwork and creativity amongst its research chemists.
