About Us

Company History

Sika Technology Limited. was established in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1989, as a privately owned limited liability company. The basis of the formation of the company was the managing director’s 20 years of experience in the manufacture of grey iron castings, his father’s foundry ownership, his brother’s foundry ownership, and the fact that his son became trained and fully committed to the family tradition of working with the casting of metals.

Company Innovations

Sika Technology’s first innovation was to break with centuries-old traditions in the foundry industry by applying ‘systems engineering’ principles to metal casting.

The second innovation, based on the first, was to develop lightweight aluminium security access covers for telecommunication network junction chambers. The significance of this innovative product lies in the following facts. The covers could be twice the size of cast iron type they were replacing, and yet weigh 70% less, incorporate security latching systems, and comply with Australasian and British loading standards - a world first for cast aluminium.

The third innovation grew from the second. Having mastered the processes and tooling for large die cast covers, Sika Technology then set about creating a faster, safer, and cheaper solution for the jointing chambers their covers where being made for, giving rise to the ‘Sika Solution’ – kitset cast aluminium jointing chambers and security access covers.
