Mapei’s growth has been constant because it is based on values from the past that have the merit of still being relevant today.

Our history

It was 1937 when Rodolfo Squinzi founded Mapei - Materiali Ausiliari Per l'Edilizia e l'Industria (Auxiliary Materials for Building and Industry) in the outskirts of Milan – setting off on a path that would eventually make us a multinational company, champions of Italian excellence all over the world.
The facts and figures now speak for themselves: three generations of entrepreneurs, business. Manufacturing operations on five continents and more than twenty product lines to cater for everything the building industry needs.

Our values

Mapei’s values can be experienced at first hand and are represented in our daily mission: to play a key role in improving the quality of people’s lives by creating increasingly sustainable chemical products for the construction industry. Values we wish to share with the market, our clients, our suppliers and all those people and organisations we collaborate with.

Our Brands

The following brands are also part of Mapei Group, brands which have been acquired over the years as part of the Group’s clear strategy based on Internationalisation, Specialisation and Research & Development. Production levels have increased over the years, above all to integrate the supply of strategic raw materials upstream in the manufacturing chain, which in turn has enabled us to increase our range of products.
