Swiss chemicals company Sika AG has offered 2.25 billion Swiss francs to buy its founding family's controlling stake, Swiss media reported Sunday, a move designed to scupper a hostile takeover by France's Saint-Gobain SA. The management of Baar-based Sika has made the offer to encourage the Burkard family to cancel their agreement to sell their holding to Saint-Gobain for 2.75 billion francs.
