Sika Opens New Florida Production Plant

Sika has opened a new concrete admixture facility in Haines City, Florida, further strengthening its position in one of the company’s largest markets.

The new Florida plant, which utilizes the highest level of automation of any Sika admixture site in the U.S., will produce high-performance superplasticizers for concrete, serving customers across Florida and the Southeastern United States fulfilling requirements in demanding construction projects in the region.

In addition to its technological advancements, the plant will create eight new jobs in plant operations and logistics, supporting Polk County’s local economy and workforce development.

“We are committed to providing our customers with the highest-quality solutions and excellent technical services,” said Thomas Strittmatter, Executive Vice President Concrete. “The opening of our Haines City plant reinforces Sika’s dedication to the concrete industry and, more importantly, to our customers throughout Florida.”

For the new facility, Sika says it adopted best demonstrated practices from other plants for safety equipment, process equipment, water and wastewater reduction, and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by roughly 8,000 tons by 2032.

Manufacturing Network

The new plant is part of an expansion of Sika’s global manufacturing network which has seen four other plants also opened in Argentina, Colombia, Bangladesh, and Tanzania.

Sika says each new site is ‘strategically located’ and designed to meet rising regional demand for high-performance construction materials, while reinforcing the company’s commitment to customer proximity and supply chain flexibility.

Sika employs 33,000 staff and produces in over 400 factories worldwide. In 2025, the manufacturer of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protection in the building sector reported CHF 11.20 billion (Swiss francs) in sales.
