Sika Corp., a global corporation whose U.S. headquarters is in Lyndhurst, announced that it has broken ground on a new, state-of-the-art, 250,000-square-foot mortar production plant in Upper Deerfield Township, it announced recently.
The leader in development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protection in building and automotive sectors said the plant is expected to be in operation in late 2025, and will be its Northeast Anchor facility.
It said 50 jobs will be created in Cumberland County.
“This new investment into our supply chain and manufacturing footprint is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the Northeast Region and the surrounding areas of the United States as a prime production hub,” Jim Walter, CEO and president of Sika Corp. USA, said in a prepared statement. “This strategic move is poised to bolster Sika’s leadership position in providing innovative construction solutions to our valued customers.”
The facility will produce a range of mortars, including high-performance cementitious grouts, self-leveling mortars and mixes for shotcrete, the company said in a release.
Sika said the new facility is part of growth that includes a new, 150,000-square-foot fully automated warehouse in Ohio that is scheduled to open this week.
