- Sika acquired Dubai-based Duproof to add locally produced waterproofing membranes in the UAE.
- The transaction links Duproof's contractor network with Sika's distribution channels and existing Middle East operations.
- Sika says the new site complements manufacturing facilities in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Sika has acquired Dubai-based waterproofing manufacturer Duproof, adding a UAE production site and new customer channels to its Middle East platform. The company announced the transaction on Monday, October 26, according to a Sika press release.
Local production supports regional growth
Duproof manufactures bituminous waterproofing membranes used in major construction projects across the United Arab Emirates. Sika plans to integrate the products into specifications for infrastructure, non-residential and residential projects, using its established sales organization and customer network.
The acquired company brings more than products. Duproof has relationships with contractors and applicators, while its membranes will be distributed through Sika UAE's existing network. Sika says the combined channels create cross-selling opportunities and can strengthen its share of major projects.
UAE site broadens Middle East footprint
The Dubai facility adds to Sika's manufacturing presence in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Sika says the additional site will support local manufacturing and regional supply capabilities, while the production and distribution setup should create operating synergies.
The release also describes Sika as operating through subsidiaries in 103 countries and more than 400 factories. That scale gives the Duproof transaction a broader platform for product integration, although Sika did not disclose financial terms, Duproof revenue or expected synergies.
