Swizerland-based Sika has completed the acquisition of Chema, a prominent manufacturer of tile-setting materials in Peru.

The deal was announced in August last year.

This strategic move enhances Sika’s standing in the rapidly growing mortar sector, providing valuable cross-selling opportunities through a broader distribution network and a complementary manufacturing base.

Established more than 50 years ago, Chema boasts a strong foothold in the market, offering a wide array of tile-setting materials.

The company claimed that its customer base ‘appreciates’ its effective logistics and dependable supply.

Chema operates four factories and seven warehouses, ensuring manufacturing and distribution coverage across Peru.
