Sika CZ, s.r.o. Appliance clamp with special feature
Sika CZ, s.r.o. (Sika) belongs to the holding company Sika AG, which operates worldwide. The company has its headquarters in Brno and is a leading manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of products and systems for building and renovation in the Czech market. The Sika portfolio includes diverse products in expanded polystyrene for insulating floors, façades and roofs. Due to the particular spatial conditions, and for easier handling, Sika needed an appliance clamp with an unusual design for transporting the large-format but at the same time light packages of expanded polystyrene in its factory - the clamps have to be able to tilt the load and transport it in this position.
