The company, a subsidiary of the Italian Mapei Group, currently produces a wide range of products in Greece, a portfolio that is expected to expand further. It also maintains an export presence across three continents and seven countries in the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, including Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon, Malta, Albania, Libya, and Morocco.
New investments include the construction of a state-of-the-art production facility, along with a logistics center and office complex in Thessaloniki, with an estimated value of €20 million. An additional €10 million will be allocated for the expansion of the existing production unit in Ritsona.
The company, which operates a significant R&D facility, is developing a new range of products to meet the growing demands of green building. Among these is the Zero Line series, introduced during a recent event at the National Gallery of Greece.
According to the company, all of its products are EPD-certified (Environmental Product Declarations) and are formulated with a reduced carbon footprint, making them ideal for the construction of environmentally certified projects based on international standards such as LEED, BREEAM, and others.
Founded in 1937 by Rodolfo Squinzi on the outskirts of Milan, under the name Mapei – Materiali Ausiliari Per l'Edilizia e l'Industria (Auxiliary Materials for Construction and Industry), the company is one of Italy’s largest family-owned businesses and a global leader in adhesives and chemical products for the building industry. Nearly 90 years after its founding, Mapei has grown into a global powerhouse in the production of construction chemicals, and is now one of the largest manufacturers worldwide in its sector.
