Sika acquires Sable Marco distribution network in Canada

Sika has acquired Sable Marco Inc, a manufacturer of cementitious materials and mortars based in Pont-Rouge, near Quebec City. This new acquisition will open new opportunities for Sika in the Eastern Canada region and will clearly improve Sika’s access to the retail distribution channel, the company says.

Sable Marco has built up a strong presence in the distribution channel and is said to have an excellent relationship with major national and regional building material stores and DYI retail chains. The customer base is complementary to Sika’s and the acquisitions will enable Sika to develop relationships with new high potential customers.

Sable Marco operates one plant close to Québec City offering logistic and strategic benefits for Sika Canada. This location will allow Sika to expand the reach and better serve customers in the Eastern part of the country. The product range of Sable Marco includes cementitious products, mortars, polymeric sand, and other bagged materials.

Synergies will be generated by exploring cross-selling potential for Sika’s Target Markets Waterproofing and Building Finishing through additional channels, improved geographical access, as well as from the opportunities opening in the growing polymeric sand category.

Switzerland-based Sika is a specialty chemicals company providing development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protecting in the building sector and motor vehicle industry. Sika has subsidiaries in100 countries around the world and manufactures in over 300 factories.
