Sika Automotive and Raben Group: Partnership for Innovation, Efficiency, and Sustainability

The strategic cooperation between Sika Automotive Deutschland GmbH and the Raben Group sets new standards in the areas of logistics, innovation and sustainability. By joining forces, the two companies are optimizing processes along the value chain and at the same time actively contributing to the implementation of global environmental goals.

Logistics Meets Technology: Focusing on Efficiency
The state-of-the-art Sika facility in Hamburg serves as a European hub for the distribution of innovative specialty chemicals. Every year, over 10,000 transports are organized, supplying more than 700 locations in over 50 countries. With over 3,500 pallet capacities, 400 active sales items, and production focused on four key technologies, Hamburg is a pivotal site for the global automotive industry.

“Our partnership with the Raben Group combines the technological expertise of Sika Automotive with the logistical efficiency of a partner with many years of experience. Together, we are strengthening the performance of our supply chain and contributing to a more sustainable future. In doing so, we are also making an important contribution to the transformation of the industry towards net zero emissions,” explains Johannes Gehrdau, Head Supply Chain Europe Global Business at Sika Automotive.

Innovation and Sustainability: Setting New Standards Together
In its Group-wide Strategy 2028 “Beyond the Expected”, Sika is clearly committed to sustainable growth and is aligned with its “Net Zero” promise. The Raben Group complements this with innovative approaches in logistics: by using trucks with alternative fuels such as HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) and energy-efficient refrigerated trailers, significant reductions in emissions have already been achieved.

“Sustainability is not a trend for us, but an integral part of our strategy. We share a common vision with Sika Automotive: we want to combine innovation and environmental awareness in order to set new standards for our industry,” emphasizes Florian Hoops, Branch Manager of the Raben Group in Hamburg.

Quality and Precision at the Core
Sika Automotive's innovative production and testing methods ensure that every product meets the highest quality standards. Precise tests in specialized laboratories and advanced technologies such as automated palletizing and inerting ensure reliable results. Raben Group builds on this with an optimized supply chain, ensuring timely and dependable deliveries.

Looking Ahead
The partnership between Sika Automotive and Raben Group is more than a business collaboration—it is a clear commitment to a sustainable and innovative future. Whether through technological excellence, optimized logistics processes, or a shared commitment to resource conservation, both companies are actively contributing to securing the future of the automotive and logistics industries.
