Sika Sarnafil announced that the company\u2019s flagship Sarnafil branded membrane has hit a record-breaking 60 years of proven performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1958, a company called Sarna was formed in Switzerland to develop polymeric products, and in 1962 this small company did something very big. Company chemists developed the first PVC membrane reinforced with fabric, leading to a number of industrial applications that included a growing roofing and waterproofing membrane market. This tear-resistant PVC membrane was patented and trademarked \u201cSarnafil.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSixty years ago, we started with one mission in mind, to produce the industry\u2019s longest lasting, most resilient PVC roofing and waterproofing membrane around, and today that mission is stronger than ever,\u201d said Sebastien Godard, executive vice president of Sika Sarnafil USA. \u201cThe Sarnafil brand is synonymous with performance in the commercial construction industry. We have customers who after 40 years of installing Sarnafil still won\u2019t install anything else. That speaks volumes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd let\u2019s not forget our customers,\u201d noted Bill Bellico, vice president of Marketing and Inside Sales for Sika Sarnafil USA. \u201cWe really owe all of our success to the many approved applicators, roof consultants, architects, general contractors and building owners who have not only supported Sika Sarnafil and Sarnafil Systems but also helped elevate roofing systems as a whole from a commodity product to being viewed as the first line of defense in protecting your building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
