Sika’s CEO tops

Sika has won the award for CEO of the Year, beating competition from the largest listed companies in Switzerland.

The ranking is compiled by Obermatt, a Swiss financial research firm focused on indexing company performance.

The Obermatt CEO of the Year rankings measure a company’s performance against that of its competitors in terms of sales growth, operating performance and total shareholder return.

Sika CEO, Jan Jenisch, acknowledges Sika’s global employees in acceptance of the award: “Friends, this award goes to all of you and we would like to congratulate you for making Sika such a successful company. You implemented Sika’s Strategy 2018 and made our growth model work.

“We would like to thank you for your passion and huge efforts. Please extend our compliments to your teams and employees, who all contributed to this success.”

The top ranking of Sika is based on its strong results of the past three years – the best ever in Sika’s history. Sika outperformed companies such as Geberit, Lindt & Sprüngli, Barry Callebaut and Givaudan while others such as Roche, Nestlé or Novartis did not reach the top ten ranking.
