Sika has acquired L. M. Scofield, a U.S.-based market leader in the production of concrete color
additives for ready-mixed concrete, along with decorative products and treatments for concrete
refurbishment. Scofield offers a comprehensive range of color solutions to serve customers in the
fast-growing decorative concrete market of North America, and generated sales of CHF 17 million
in 2015.
Based in Los Angeles, L. M. Scofield is a 100-year-old, family owned company that has long been
established as a trusted brand of concrete color additives and decorative products
in North America. With two strategic production locations (Los Angeles, California, and Atlanta,
Georgia), L. M. Scofield produces a complete range of color solution products that are highly
regarded and widely specified – even beyond the North American continent.
The acquisition fits perfectly with Sika’s accelerated growth strategy in North America. In the past
two years the production footprint for mortars and admixtures has expanded with the addition of
four new plants – in Denver, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Vancouver – the number of factories in North
America now totaling 18. In addition, the acquisition of the mortar company BMI, made in 2015,
completed the supply chain in the dynamic Californian market.
Christoph Ganz, Regional Manager North America: “The acquisition of L. M. Scofield further
accelerates our growth strategy for North America. It provides us with a proven, industry leader,
and a number one brand position in colors for new concrete and refurbishment. We proudly
welcome L. M. Scofield’s employees to the Sika team and are excited about growing our business
together.”
