For over 25 years, Addiment has been a key player in the field of advanced concrete and mortar technology. Its range of products includes, inter alia, high-quality concrete additives and special dry mortars. In the year 2001, the consolidated sales of the Addiment Group totalled approximately EUR 40 million or CHF 58 million respectively.
By acquiring Addiment, Sika is strengthening its market position in the European concrete additive sector. For HeidelbergCement, the sale will enable it to focus more strongly on its core cement and concrete business. In addition, the two partners have agreed to co-operate closely in the field of research and development, as well as with respect to distribution activities.
