MAPEI is proud to have supported this year’s AEC Cares #ProjectBoston Day of Service, where volunteers from across the architecture, engineering and construction industries came together to renovate the Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter’s in the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston.
The renovation effort aimed to enhance a vital space that serves as a safe, supportive environment for local adolescents. The improvements made during this one-day blitz will help Catholic Charities Boston continue to provide critical programming and resources for youth in the community.
By sponsoring this year’s initiative, MAPEI contributed to meaningful change that will have a lasting impact far beyond the renovation itself. We are honored to have taken part in this effort and extend our thanks to AEC Cares and all the project partners who helped to bring it to life.
We look forward to continuing our support next year at #ProjectSanDiego and encourage others to learn more about AEC Cares’ future efforts.
As part of MAPEI’s ongoing celebration of our partnership with Andretti Global, we hosted special giveaways at three major 2025 conventions – World of Concrete, TISE and Coverings. At each event, attendees had the chance to enter a drawing to win an exclusive helmet that was signed by Marco Andretti.
We are thrilled to announce the winners of this exciting campaign:
Congratulations to all our winners and thank you to everyone who visited our booths! MAPEI is proud to bring innovation to the jobsite – and a little racing excitement too.

MAPEI Corporation enjoyed a second exciting year as a proud partner of Andretti Global during the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, highlighted by sponsorship of Marco Andretti in the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 and continued logo presence throughout the year.
The season concluded at Nashville Superspeedway with the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix, where Kyle Kirkwood delivered a strong performance in the No. 27 Sam’s Club Honda. Qualifying 13th, Kirkwood led the most laps in the 206-lap finale before an untimely yellow and a Track Limit penalty dropped him to 10th. He fought back to finish fourth, capping a year that included three victories – among them his first-ever oval win at the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway. MAPEI’s logo was also featured on Marcus Ericsson’s No. 28 Browning Chapman Honda at the finale. Ericsson faced grip issues on restarts and finished 15th but looked ahead, determined to regroup for 2026.
Across 17 races, MAPEI and Andretti Global celebrated key moments, from Marco Andretti’s Indy 500 appearance to Kirkwood’s growth as a contender. The season underscored teamwork, resilience and high-performance partnerships – values shared by both INDYCAR and MAPEI.
The 2025 season featured 17 races across the U.S. and Canada, beginning in St. Petersburg on March 2 and ending in Nashville on August 31. Highlights included Marco Andretti’s Indy 500 appearance, Kyle Kirkwood’s rise as a contender, and strong visibility for the MAPEI brand throughout one of racing’s most competitive series.
On May 29, the Consulate General of Italy in Miami hosted the 79th Italian National Day celebration at the iconic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. The prestigious event, organized by Consul General Michele Mistò, brought together members of the Italian and international business communities, local dignitaries and honored guests in recognition of the founding of the Italian Republic.
MAPEI Corporation and Polyglass USA were proud to support the celebration as Gold Sponsors, reaffirming their strong ties to Italian heritage, culture and excellence in innovation.
Representing MAPEI at the event were Fabrizio De Rossi, National Sales Director, Construction and Restoration Systems, Major Projects; and Alessandro Biondi, MAPEI Regional CFO – North America.
The evening featured remarks from Consul General Mistò and other officials that highlighted the strong relationship between Italy and the United States, particularly in the areas of trade, culture and industry.
As global companies with Italian roots and a strong presence in the U.S. market, MAPEI and Polyglass USA were honored to participate in the event, reflecting their ongoing commitment to community, collaboration and international partnership.
