Sika opens factory in Brazil

Sika is tapping into the future potential of the automotive sector in Latin America by opening a new factory for adhesives and acoustic products in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Today, more than 25M vehicles, produced worldwide, are made stronger and safer with the company’s structural adhesives, while its acoustic systems reduce interior noise by more than 30%.

The factory in Sao Paolo, with its adjoining Technology Center, will manufacture adhesives and a wide range of acoustic products for the automotive market in Latin America.

The high-performance technologies are used in various applications, including acoustic and sealing applications, to reduce the noise level in cars or to structurally bond vehicle body shells. Bonding technology has huge advantages over welding and helps the automotive industry respond to current trends in modern vehicle construction.
