The history of Sika Germany GmbH goes back to the year 1879. It began with the founding of the company Lechler Chemie by Paul Lechler, which in 1925 had its production facility in Stuttgart.

In 1982 Sika took over this business and founded Sika Deutschland GmbH 20 years later. Since then, the company has been growing and expanding its comprehensive range of services in the various business areas. Through numerous acquisitions in the last decade, Sika Deutschland GmbH has developed into one of the most successful companies within the Sika Group.
