Sika recently announced the acquisition of concrete color additive and decorative concrete products producer L.M. Scofield Company of Los Angeles, California. Scofield is a 100-year-old family owned company and is the most trusted and recognized brand of concrete color additives and decorative products. Scofield and their complete line of products, from integral concrete color to topically applied stains, are widely specified and highly regarded within the decorative concrete community for exceptional quality and customer service. This acquisition will accelerate Sika’s U.S. growth and further establish Sika as a comprehensive supplier of trusted solutions for all aspects of construction.
L.M. Scofield Company provides a unique opportunity that aligns with Sika’s North American strategy for market penetration by building our customer base and expanding sales to existing customers with greater value added product offerings. This acquisition positions Sika as the concrete additive supplier that can produce and supply a complete line of high quality products including, but not limited to, high performance polycarboxylate water reducers, waterproofing admixtures and now color additives.
This acquisition represents a step in Sika’s strategy to provide a full line of complete construction products from “roof to floor”. In particular, this new line of products further strengthens their position as one of the world’s leading producer of concrete construction products.
“For over 100 years we have strived to change the way the world looks at and uses concrete to make the places we live, work and play better and more beautiful," says Phillip Arnold, President and CEO of L.M. Scofield Company. "Through Sika, the dreams of Scofield are in the best possible hands to take the decorative concrete industry to greater heights with a wider audience to the benefit of all those involved.”
