Mapei’s new plant will allow the Portuguese subsidiary to boost its production capacity.
Mapei, a global leader in the manufacture of chemical products for the building industry, is continuing its international expansion strategy by opening a new plant in Cantanhede, Portugal, for an investment of around 13 million euros.
Encompassing a total surface area of 26,500 m² (12,000 m² of which covered), the new plant is equipped with cutting-edge technology that will allow the Portuguese subsidiary to boost its production capacity, expand its product range and reinforce its service to local customers.
“We started our venture in Portugal in 2001 as a small company,” so Marco Squinzi told us, “but we are now among the leading companies in the building chemicals sector. Thanks to this new and modern plant, we will be able to respond to the demands of the local market and continue to grow, supplying innovative, long-lasting and high-quality products that are environmentally friendly, such as our Zero product Line with fully offset CO2 emission.”
Over the years, Mapei has contributed to major residential, urban and infrastructural development projects in Portugal, such as subways in Porto and Lisbon, football stadiums for Euro 2004, the construction of the Holy Trinity Church in Fatima, the expansion of the Portela Airport in Lisbon, the renovation of the bridge over Arade River in Portimão, and many other projects.
