Sika opens national subsidiaries in Djibouti and Cameroon

The establishment of national subsidiaries in Djibouti and Cameroon takes the total number of subsidiaries on the African continent to 18. This increases Sika’s presence to a global total of 97. The East African state of Djibouti is an important location for market access to the neighbouring country of Ethiopia, which is one of the largest in Africa. In addition to developing the local market, the subsidiary will supply Ethiopia’s fast-growing construction market.

A national subsidiary has also been established in Cameroon, in the city of Douala. This will assume responsibility for the distribution of concrete admixtures and mortar products and continue to expand Sika’s market share in Cameroon’s construction market.

The West African country’s building industry is growing dynamically under the stimulus of investments in infrastructure and residential construction. Important projects include the expansion of the Kribi seaport.
