Winston Score History

The full picture

Sika AG is a Swiss specialty chemicals company that makes products used in construction and manufacturing. Its core products include adhesives, sealants, waterproofing materials, concrete additives, and flooring systems. Builders, contractors, and car manufacturers are its main customers, and its products are used in everything from skyscrapers and tunnels to car assembly lines.

Sika earns money by selling these chemical products directly to construction companies and industrial manufacturers across more than 100 countries. It is a large global player with annual sales above $10 billion, and its moat comes from deep technical expertise, long customer relationships, and a wide distribution network that is hard for smaller rivals to replicate. The company has grown partly through acquisitions, including its large purchase of MBCC Group in 2022, and continuing to integrate those deals while managing raw material cost swings remains one of its key challenges going forward.
