Currently Sika USA purchases insulation products from third party suppliers to include in its solutions for Roofing and Building Envelopes. With this acquisition it will now be possible to benefit from in-house production.

Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager North America: "The acquisition of Rmax fits perfectly with Sika's growth strategy in North America, further strengthening our already fast-growing Building Systems in Roofing, Sealants and Waterproofing. Rmax brings us a proven industry leader, with strong innovations for Building Envelope applications, along with manufacturing expertise for wall and roofing insulation. We proudly welcome the Rmax employees to the Sika team and are excited about growing our business together."
