Baar/Switzerland – Sika has acquired Duproof, a Dubai-based manufacturer of waterproofing membranes. The acquisition strengthens Sika’s position in the rapidly growing UAE construction market and supports Sika’s locally sourced product offering for projects in the region.

Duproof manufactures a broad range of bituminous membrane solutions that are widely used in major construction projects across the UAE. The brand enjoys strong recognition among contractors and applicators. The company operates a highly efficient, strategically located production site which will drive manufacturing and distribution synergies for Sika.

Key Benefits of the Acquisition

Expanding Product Offering for Major Projects: Sika will build on its well-established position in the UAE by integrating Duproof’s bituminous membranes into specifications of major projects, supported by its strong sales organization and established customer network. Waterproofing systems are a critical element across all infrastructure, non-residential, and residential projects.
