Sika has acquired Thiessen Team USA, a US manufacturer of shotcrete and grouting products for the mining industry in the USA.
The company serves the Western US mining industry which produces essential minerals for the growing
electric vehicle industry among many other critical minerals.
Thiessen is a privately-owned enterprise that serves the mining sector in the western part of the United States. They specialize in providing shotcrete and grouting solutions, contributing to improved operational effectiveness in mining activities.
With a history of being a family-run business, Thiessen has developed robust connections with major mining clients and is recognized for its superior product quality, practical technical assistance, and rapid responsiveness.
The company runs two manufacturing plants strategically positioned near significant mines in the western US, which are involved in extracting materials crucial for battery production. With the expanded investments in manufacturing of electric vehicles in the USA, demand for these critical minerals is expected to significantly increase going forward.
Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager Americas at Sika, commented: "The acquisition of Thiessen supports our expansion in the exciting mining business in the USA and provides Sika with a wider presence in mining across the Americas region.
The offerings of Sika and Thiessen are highly complementary and open up significant cross-selling potential with new and existing mining customers. We look forward to a successful joint future and would like to extend a very warm welcome to the Thiessen employees as they join the Sika team."
