Sika has broken ground on a 29,000-square-foot admixture production plant, which is expected to be in operation in late-2025.

The new site in Haines City, Florida, will produce a full range of Sika’s latest admixture innovations, including new ViscoCrete and ViscoFlow polycarboxylate-based technologies for the concrete industry. Sika will create an additional eight plant and logistic jobs in Florida’s Polk County.

“We are committed to providing the highest-quality solutions and services,” said Thomas Strittmatter, executive vice president for concrete at Sika. “Sika’s investment in an admixture facility in Haines City further demonstrates our commitment to the concrete industry and, more importantly, to our current and future customers in Florida.”

Sika’s investment in the Haines City operation is part of its ongoing strategy to optimize supply access to its customers’ increasing demand near key Florida markets. This investment will not only improve finished goods logistics, but also result in a significant reduction of 7,822 tons of CO² by 2032, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
