Switzerland: Sika has received an appeal by Schenker-Winkler Holding against a ruling by the Cantonal Court of Zug on 28 October 2016 that blocked the sale of Burkard-Schenker's shares to Saint-Gobain. At the time Saint-Gobain said that it still wanted to buy Sika and that its agreement with the Burkard family is valid until June 2017, with an option to extend it until December 2018.
