Focusing on the customer

Sika develops system solutions in close cooperation with its customers in the automotive industry. To us, this means not only developing high-performance quality products but also assuring their functionality at each stage of the complete modular production process. Specialists in R&D, System Engineering and Application Technology as well as in the Acoustic Test Center concentrate on devising client-oriented system solutions.

Technology Centers
Our technology centers are focused on the development of new products. This puts us in a position to actively promote technological progress in the automotive industry and to develop competent approaches for our customers.  

CAD/CAE Supported Development
We concentrate on CAD/CAE supported development of structurally reinforcing process material. From providing precision prototypes to developing highly functional injection molded system solutions, our development engineers stay involved in client projects from the research stage to serial production. 

System Engineering
Application technology is a key success factor in using adhesives and sealants. Our System Engineering Competence Center focuses on this important task and develops application parameters and systems aiming at holistic solutions for our clients. This includes pumping and application systems as well as automated robot equipment specifically designed to meet individual customer needs.

Acoustic Test Center
In our Acoustic Test Center in the USA (Madison Heights, MI) we test our products for acoustic performance. Equipped with a Chassis Dynamometer, a wind-testing rig and an E-coat oven suitable for entire vehicles, we are able to stimulate realistic test conditions.
