Sika is laying the foundation for further growth in Central America by

establishing a national subsidiary in Honduras. With the new subsidiary

customers will benefit from faster supply of Sika products and solutions

as well as an expanding product range.

The new national subsidiary will enable Sika to broaden its range of

solutions for the private and commercial construction sectors in

Honduras and expand its position in the fast-growing market. Both

segments are growing rapidly and several major projects are at the

planning or implementation stages.

Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager Americas: "The new national subsidiary

will enable us to optimize the way we procure and import products from

the Sika network and continue to efficiently develop the market by

providing competitive prices and greater customer proximity. Sika is

already number one in Latin America and the new subsidiary in Honduras

will consolidate this position."

INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS STIMULATE GROWTH

Honduras is the second-largest country in Central America, with a

population of more than 9 million. Medium-term forecasts predict annual

economic growth in excess of 4%. The country is investing heavily in its

booming textiles sector, tourism, and infrastructure projects such as

freeways, a new airport near its capital and new port facilities for

container transshipment at Puerto Cortez on the north coast.
