# Sika AG

> Sika AG is a Swiss specialty chemicals company producing concrete admixtures, adhesives, waterproofing systems, and structural sealants used across construction, transportation, and wind-energy infrastructure worldwide. Its R&D centers in Zürich and Baar maintain active research collaborations with ETH Zurich's Institute for Building Materials and EPFL's Laboratory of Construction Materials, focusing on ultra-high-performance concrete formulations, fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and accelerated carbonation curing methods for lower-CO₂ concrete production. Sika's Innovation Campus hosts visiting researchers and co-funds joint PhD theses examining the long-term durability of adhesive joints in EV battery enclosures — a fast-growing application area as automakers adopt structural bonding over welding. The company recruits from civil engineering, materials chemistry, and polymer physics PhD programs across German-speaking Europe and increasingly from programs in the UK and Netherlands. Academic-intelligence buyers tracking construction-materials science and sustainable concrete talent will find Sika a highly active and undercovered Swiss R&D node.
