The Sika Experience

I am rather tired after an interesting experience day in Dong Nai province. First of all, we went to Sika office in Ho Chi Minh city.

Next, we visited concrete patching plant. At there, we saw test samples and knew how to produce, preserve, and made plane them.

We also knew the process of mixing concrete and operating of this machine

Then, we went on visiting precast concrete factory at Phan Vu – Dong Nai. We knew how to produce driven pile

Seeing the products of driven pile after finishing

Finally, We visited highway Long Thanh – Dau Giay

We visited under the bridge which crosses Dong Nai river. Piers are very high.

This trip is very useful for us to see and understand a lot of thing. It helps me to open my knowledge.

Giving smile and love what you do, soon after it would love you back

The second day we came to Ho Chi Minh City and it was the first day of real sika experience trip, we were promised to have many interesting journeys and experiences during the trip, but we could not imagine that it is amazing like today

We left the hotel at 7 AM and all we could imagine in advancee about the first day of experience at the plant were sitting there and listen to the standard information and have no chance to touch by hand, and now i know exactly i was wrong, everything was unbelieveable with student like us, have chance to be training very deeply and clearly by one of the leaders from sika

After finished the training time, we have had a short tour around the plant, seeing how the worker working, how they can manage the time, the staff, the process of making product, and the most important thing was checking process, the requirement of the output product is very strictly, and what we could learn from that, they were how to control the system, how to convince the customer that sika’s product is good, by following the high standard and strict rule, Sika made it, they got achieve, got the customer’s belief, customer would trust sika’s products if they have chance to see how strictly the output product has to pass

And we went through from this surprise to the others, seeing profesional working style, good at management men, and crazy about  checking the products by ourself, that we have never ever had before

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, i would like to thank to you all, who has gave me this opportunity to explore the high technology and profesional of bussiness
See you tomorrow !

Second day

Having been through the second day in Sika experience is really out of my expectations. We were at the head office in IZ Nhon Trach at around 8h30, and started the tour immediately. My first impression was about the scale as well as the briefness of the company, although tons of powder, liquid, and epoxy productions are made daily. After that, I was introduced to the company: the history, production, factory facilities, which was absolutely enjoyable. Then I took a quick look in the factory by Mr Hung, who has been working there since 1995. After lunch, I was presented about concrete admixture, roofing, water proofing, industry, sealing and bonding, flooring, and refurbishment by Mr Varsu, Mr Dinh, Mr Bang. About last 1h30 hours             of the afternoon, the employees introduced to me the productions, how they can be installed in the work sites with very advanced tools, and the effectiveness of Sika productions. The production called Grout 21411 was really outstanding, which can harden in 2 mins, while any normal mortar cannot. The employees’ hospitality were shown perfectly, they showed us everything slowly, clearly and guided us very carefully, I am very thankful. See you tomorrow.

Today, we had a interesting day. We visited Sika head factory in Dong Nai province, Viet Nam.

At there, we were introduced about the Sika company and Sika products in Viet Nam by a lot of professions.

We also visited all of parts in Sika factory such as: maketing area, acounting area, products ‘s chamber, manuafacturing area, especially laboratory.

At lab, I was not only happy but also nervous to use sika products at the first time.

We used many Sika products

It was so interesting.

We worked as a new staff in factory with enthusiastic guide of people in factory.

I saw the admixture of Sika having many functions namely reducing water, time, cost and increasing streng, durability, …

This day is very interesting for me. If I have any chance, I still want to redo once more.

we woke up after an poor sleep night because of new bed room. The morning was so nice, we started going to the factory at 7am, Ho Chi Minh city was still impressed me. We first passed SaiGon river by ferry. It was absolutely an amazing view.

Starting the tour at Sika factory we had a lot of knowledges about Sika milestone and sika products as well. The most impressed thing and that makes me feel i am so lucky to be in this trip is the sika’s social activites. Sika VietNam every year donates 100000$ for programe ” operation mile” to bring the unlucky children back to the more normal life.

Then we had a tour to factory, labs. Everybody worked well together, it was very professional. We were guilded by the experienced people here, they gave us a lot of useful knowledges. I want to send my appreciation for all you’ve done for us.

Inconclusion, this morning was very interesting for me. Thankyou everybody and now i am waiting for more interesting things coming in the afternoon!

The Sika Experience Trip in Vietnam was started. Today is the first time I go to Ho Chi Minh city and it is also the first day of the journey. After get off the plane, feeling tired is disapear quickly when we met two staffs of Sika, Mr Dang looks very genle and Ms Lang always keeps smile on her lips.
Firstly we came to hotel and then we got the chance to see the city at night from Bitexco Financial Tower-the city’s tallest building.You can’t imagine how ecited I am about this city that is young, dyamic and beautiful. After that we had dinner with Mr. Adam Sharp – Deputy General Director of Sika Vietnam. He gave us some useful advice about job and life.
Finally, we were so lucky to have opportunity to tour around famous and beautiful street. That today is rainy and walking on the empty street makes us feel very special. Today is end with a lot of feelings.
Good night Ho Chi Minh City!!!

Today, we have come to Ho Chi Minh city. This is the first time we have travelled by plane, so our feeling is so fantastic.Although in Ho Chi Minh city, it has rained, our trip in the first day was very interesting.

We visited the Bitexco Financial Tower – Sky Deck. From this building, we saw view of Ho Chi Minh city which is very amazing.

After that, we had the dinner with Mr Adam – Deputy General Director of Sika. He shared us a lot of precious experience.

I really expect tomorrow, I am going to visit Sika headquarter and factory in Dong Nai.

The first day of Sika Experience 2013 gave me a lot of emotions. That is the first time to Ho Chi Minh city that is very beautiful and modern. We visited Bitexco Financial Tower where we can see the view of whole city that is different from where i knew. In the other hand, i was also met the friendly people.That is two fun guides who are Mr.Dang ,Ms. Lang, is Mr. Adam Sharp -Deputy General Director of Sika Vietnam with sharing extremly valuable about job in the future. And new, interesting something will come to us in the next fews day.

On the top of the cloud :3

More than the word can say, amazing and too many things to say about the city named after the first president of Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh city.
The first impression of us was the age of Mr Đăng and Ms Đinh Lăng, we all know about them through the internet with some short conversation via email, we thought with their profesional attitude, they must be older in our imagine, we were wrong, they are too young and teen but profesional
And then, we enjoy our dinner with delicious cousins and not only happy meal but also there were many worth experience sharing by Mr. Adam Sharp – Deputy General Director of Sika Vietnam
Many thanks to all for welcome us :D

today was such a special day to me. I got a lot of first times here in Ho Chi Minh city. My first flight to the city named after uncle Ho- an incredible person of our ethenicity and the first impression is “cool” because of the rain. The streets were not much crowded and no traffic congestion. Moreover, it was about Mr. Dang and Ms.Lang , two staffs of Sika picked up us at air station Tan Son Nhat, honestly they are very friendly and kind.After checking for the hotel, we went to Bitexco Financial Tower and had a wonderful view of this city. That was unforgetable and then we had a dinner with Mr. Adam, vice president of marketing of Sika. He’s a good man, great manager. he also gave us some pieces of advice and they are very useful for us- the young. finally we got a walking tour on some famous street in Ho Chi Minh city and enjoyed the fresh air. I regreted that of rainy day , so there were a few people outside. anyway, i still feel very excited about the first day and ready to expericence more tomorrow. :D
