Sika Acquires Infrastructure Refurbishment Company

Sika report that they have acquired Kwik Bond Polymers, LLC (KBP), a manufacturer of polymer systems for the refurbishment of concrete infrastructure. KBP has focused on the refurbishment of bridge decks and has established a track record in signature projects across the USA. Sika says that the business perfectly complements their high value-added systems for refurbishment of concrete structures.

In 2022, a USD 1.2 trillion infrastructure bill was approved that will support decade-long funding for critical infrastructure upgrades. Bridge deck refurbishment will account for a significant part of the investments in the categories of roads and bridges, rail systems, and transportation safety. With access to the complementary product range from Kwik Bond, Sika state that their customers will benefit from a broader offering of durable solutions to support their crucial projects for years ahead.

"Kwik Bond is a perfect complement to Sika's current infrastructure focus and product portfolio. Their well-recognized expertise in the USA, and their impressive track record of long-lasting refurbishment projects fits Sika's culture perfectly. By preserving and extending the service-life of our concrete infrastructure, we deliver outstanding customer value and significant sustainability benefits to the construction industry. We warmly welcome all the Kwik Bond employees to our Sika team." said Mike Campion, Regional Manager Americas.
