Specialty chemical company Sika has acquired United Gilsonite Laboratories (UGL), a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of products for consumer and DIY waterproofing applications.
Sika says UGL complements its systems for concrete and masonry waterproofing and refurbishment. In 2021, UGL generated sales of USD 67 million.
The UGL product portfolio is comprised of consumer and DIY liquid waterproofing products that can be found in major retailers in the United States. With headquarters and production in Scranton, Pa., and two additional production sites in Illinois and Mississippi, Sika says UGL is well situated to supply its products to customers in every region of the United States and will increase the Sika presence with major retailers and other building material stores.
