Sika has appointed Paul Schuler as its new CEO, effective July 1, 2017. Schuler, currently the company's regional manager Europe Middle East Africa, will take over from Jan Jenisch who is joining LafargeHolcim as CEO. Schuler has been with the company for 29 years and has been a member of the company's group management since 2007. The change in CEO comes as the company keeps resisting a bid by French industrial group Saint-Gobain to gain control of the company.
