More specifically, mapei.com was rewarded for the complexity and layout of its master site in Italian and the local websites of the Mapei Group' subsidiary companies, making a total of 59 website translated into 62 languages with approximately 240,000 pages attracting 550,000 individual visitors each month.
The project for the new websites first began in 2017 with the relaunching the Italian holding company's main website. It was then developed and extended to cover all the Group' subsidiaries and was completed with the launch of the final three websites of the North American subsidiaries in May 2020.
