Elmich

What Elmich does

Elmich is a Singapore-based specialty building-envelope and construction-products company focused on five interconnected categories: landscaping systems, waterproofing, roofing, drainage, and stormwater management. Founded in 1985, the company develops and supplies physical product solutions used by architects, contractors, developers, and infrastructure project owners for both new-build and retrofit applications in tropical and high-rainfall environments typical of Southeast Asia.

Its product range centers on engineered physical systems rather than software or chemicals, including waterproofing membranes, drainage cells and sheets, green-roof and podium-planter components, and stormwater detention or retention modules. These products are specified into building designs and infrastructure tenders, generating revenue through project-based sales to construction firms, property developers, and landscape contractors in Singapore and adjacent markets.

The company was a privately held Singapore private limited entity (Elmich Pte Ltd) with a headcount in the 11-50 range prior to its February 2025 acquisition by Sika AG, the Swiss-listed global construction chemicals group. Following the acquisition, Elmich's product lines are listed on the Sika Singapore product portal alongside Sika's sealants, admixtures, and roofing systems, indicating integration into Sika's regional specification and distribution channels rather than operation as an independent brand.
