Sika UK has now opened a new Research & Development Centre (R&D) situated at its Preston site which replaced a 100 year old single storey warehouse which is now fully operational and housing 20 scientists and support staff over three floors and which cost £2.5m, a clear signal that Sika is investing in its people, its customers and the UK.


It’s also ensures Sika is fit for the future, as chemistry and science evolves, Sika UK will be at the forefront of new technological advances, as the new R&D centre has more than doubled the size of the original labs.


Enjoy this 10min video and hopefully it provides a complete overview of Sika’s comprehensive range of products, as well as giving a real insight into the diversification and skill we bring to the market.
