In the heart of Veszprém, two office buildings were transformed into minimalist lofts with an industrial style, thanks to Mapei’s Ultratop Loft decorative cementitious system. The project combined textured surfaces, natural light, and contemporary materials. The result is an elegant, functional space resistant to daily wear, perfectly integrated into the historic urban context.

The precast concrete sector is experiencing dynamic growth, fuelled by increasing demands for sustainability, production efficiency, and material innovation. In this interview, José Maria Vaquero — Corporate Product Line Manager for Precast Concrete at Mapei Group — shares how Mapei is actively supporting manufacturers with tailored technical expertise and high-performance solutions. Mapei offers a 360° approach that enhances durability, optimizes production processes, and fosters sustainability

The second phase of the Modular Prefab Construction project incorporates Mapefibre ST 40 Plus macro-synthetic fibres into precast modular slabs made of concrete-and-timber to reinforce the concrete, while also enhancing its mechanical performance, sustainability and modularity. Using Mapefibre ST 40 Plus reduces the need for conventional reinforcement, promotes a circular economy and simplifies the precast production process. Presented at the FIB 2025 symposium, the project provides an innovative solution for the future of construction.
