Sika AG is opening a new manufacturing site for mortars in Kryoneri, near Athens. Complementary to Sika's existing concrete admixture plant in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, the manufacturing plant will drive forward the mortar business in the country by broadening the current product portfolio and opening up new market segments. In addition to the mortar production unit, which has a capacity of 20,000 tons per year, the facility will house a modern laboratory, as well as a new concrete admixtures logistics hub for southern Greece.

A production unit for liquid applied membranes for waterproofing and roofing applications will be installed in a subsequent step.
