Sika Bangladesh opens new factory at Meghna Industrial Economic Zone

Sika Bangladesh Limited, a Switzerland-based specialty chemicals company, has opened a new factory at the Meghna Industrial Economic Zone (MIEZ) in Narayanganj.

The ceremony was graced by Reto Renggli, Ambassador of Switzerland to Bangladesh, as the chief guest, and Mostafa Kamal, Chairman and Managing Director of Meghna Group of Industries, as the special guest.

Sika, a global leader in developing and producing systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protecting in the construction and motor vehicle industries, operates in over 100 countries with more than 400 factories and 34,000 employees worldwide.

In his remarks, Sanjiban Roy Nadi, Country Head of Sika Bangladesh, said that Bangladesh marks Sika's 100th subsidiary. "Sika is everywhere. Across our global operations, sustainability remains a key component of our innovation drive. We aim to enhance durability and improve both energy and material efficiency for construction and industrial applications," he said.

Highlighting the company's investment and commitment to Bangladesh, he added that Sika has invested approximately 5.19 million CHF to establish the facility on an 8,094-square-meter site, featuring two production lines for liquid admixtures and powder-based products. "This new factory will strengthen supply chain efficiency, expand our product portfolio, and generate local employment opportunities," he noted.

During the ceremony, Sika Bangladesh also launched a new high-performance tile adhesive product for the local market, designed to enhance durability and bond strength compared to conventional mortar.

With this investment, Sika aims to contribute to Bangladesh's growing construction chemical market, valued at over USD 100 million, by localizing production and promoting sustainable industrial growth.
