El Salvador: Sika is setting up a sales and distribution subsidiary in El Salvador. The unit will be the Swiss company's 99th national subsidiary around the world.

"Sika already has a strong market position in El Salvador, as we have been supplying the construction sector out of Guatemala for many years. With this new national subsidiary we can develop the market more efficiently and grow more rapidly. Our aim is to further develop Sika's leading position, particularly in the Sealing & Bonding target market," said José Luis Vázquez, Sika's Regional Manager for Latin America.
