Sika Acquires Turkish Adhesive and Sealant Manufacturer

Sika has announced the acquisition of Turkey-based adhesives and sealants manufacturer, Akkim.

The construction chemicals manufacturer says the acquisition further strengthens its position in the adhesives and sealants industry and will create substantial growth opportunities through expanded distribution and geographic reach as well as enhanced manufacturing capacity.

Milestone Acquisition

Akkim generated net sales of approximately CHF 220 million in 2025. It has a well-established distribution network focused on the high-growth markets in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its product portfolio covers a wide range of adhesive and sealant applications and technologies for the construction sector. The offering is based on proprietary formulations developed by the company’s R&D team.

In addition, the expanded production capacity will help establish a ‘highly efficient’ manufacturing and export hub for adhesives and sealants, supporting long-term growth in this segment.

Christoph Ganz, Sika Regional Manager EMEA, said: “The acquisition of Akkim marks an important milestone in strengthening our position in the adhesives and sealants industry. By combining our talented teams and complementary product portfolios, we will create greater customer value and unlock new growth opportunities.
