1 July 2010 – Sika AG announces that its U.S. subsidiary, Sika Corporation, has acquired the Greenstreak Group, Inc. The transaction closed on 1 July 2010. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, annual revenues for Greenstreak are approximately $30 million USD. Sika expects this acquisition will further strengthen its leadership position in the North American construction industry– particularly in the area of engineered waterproofing.
Since 1950, Greenstreak has been manufacturing high quality, high value products for the construction industry, including engineered waterstops and joint seals, doweling systems, architectural form liners, pipeline protections, and a wide range of forming accessories.
