Casco

What Casco does

Casco is a Swedish building adhesives and sealants brand, legally operated by Sika Sverige AB and positioned within the global Sika Group's specialty chemicals portfolio. The company develops, markets, and distributes chemical formulations for bonding, sealing, and surface preparation across five product categories: wood adhesives under the heritage Cascol line, professional floor installation systems branded Casco Floor Expert, construction sealants (MultiTech, SMP, silicone, and acrylic chemistries), wall covering adhesives and fillers, and repair/hobby adhesives. Its flagship Cascol wood adhesive, celebrating its 70th anniversary, is described as the most sold wood glue among professionals and DIY users in Sweden. The product portfolio includes more than 60 SKUs spanning sub-brands such as CascoProff, CascoLin, Casco AquaSeal, Casco Strong Epoxy, and CascoFlex, with certifications including EPD environmental declarations and REACH compliance.

Casco serves two primary customer segments: professional contractors (floor installers, builders, and construction trades) who require certified, system-based installation products, and DIY consumers purchasing through retail for home repair and craft projects. The brand reaches these segments through a multi-channel distribution model consisting of a direct e-commerce storefront (Casco e-shop), a network of authorized retailers and hardware stores across Sweden and the broader Nordics (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland), and integration with the Sika Group's wider distribution infrastructure. Marketing combines product catalog content, DIY project inspiration under the 'Pyssla med Casco' initiative, technical documentation downloads, sustainability messaging tied to Sika's group-level PCR packaging and CO2 reduction targets, and newsletter communications.

Casco is not an independent operating company; it is a brand and marketing front for Sika Sverige AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sika Group. It has no independent external investors, no standalone funding history, and no publicly disclosed brand-level financials. Pricing is not disclosed publicly, products are sold on a transactional basis through retail and e-commerce channels, and revenue is reported within Sika's consolidated accounts. The brand is governed and resourced within Sika's corporate structure, with R&D, sustainability strategy, and supply chain capabilities shared across sibling brands PCI and Schönox.
