SIKA'S AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS HAS BEEN SELECTED AS FINALIST FOR THE 2025 AUTOMOTIVE NEWS PACE AWARDS FOR INNOVATION

SikaSeal^®-832 also demonstrates remarkable adaptability to complex geometries, ensuring optimal sealing in various structural cavities. Additionally, its formulation is environmentally friendly, adhering to stringent VOC regulations and promoting sustainability in manufacturing. Its development showcases a commitment to advancing automotive technologies and reinforcing Sika's position as a leader in innovative solutions.

"Sika continues to be an innovative solutions provider to the automotive industry. We are proud our automotive innovation was chosen as a finalist by the PACE Awards. The pumpable baffle was engineered specifically for small cavity sealing in a vehicle where predominantly manually applied tapes and small parts are used. The pumpable baffle solution removes the need for manual application, and as vehicle cavities continue to get smaller in design, parts become almost impossible to apply in these areas. Sika's pumpable baffle solution allows customers to build lighter, greener, stronger, and quieter vehicles," said Sika's President Scott Henry, Automotive and Industry Americas.

The 2025 PACE Awards are presented by Automotive News. The winners are determined by an independent panel of judges and will be announced in April 2025 at the Max M. Fisher Music Center in Detroit, Michigan. The event opens the SAE Week in Detroit and highlights the top innovators in the world.
