Eastern Cape, South Africa – Wisteria Farm, a citrus exporter committed to delivering premium fruit to international markets, has recently completed a vital infrastructure upgrade by coating key packhouse floors with Sikafloor® Garage system.
This enhancement was driven by the farm's need for easy-to-clean and protective flooring to support stringent hygiene standards required for citrus handling and export. The packhouse floor coating ensures not only a more sanitary work environment but also contributes to the longevity and durability of the floor surface under daily operational stresses.
The substrate underwent mechanical surface preparation to achieve the required profile and ensure optimal adhesion. The initial coat was modified with a 5% water dilution to enhance substrate penetration and bonding performance. The completed system delivers a seamless, durable, and chemically resistant surface, well-suited for the rigorous hygiene and maintenance demands of food processing and packaging environments.
Sika’s Sikafloor® Garage is specifically designed for environments like this—combining aesthetics, performance, and compliance with food industry standards. Its quick installation and minimal downtime made it the perfect choice for Wisteria Farm’s operational schedule.
This successful application demonstrates how Sika solutions continue to support South Africa’s agricultural and export sectors by providing products that meet real-world challenges with efficiency and reliability.
