MAPEI's culture of innovation and excellence is rooted in
the company history. Founded in Milan, Italy by Mr.
Rodolfo Squinzi in 1937, MAPEI grew from a small
wall-paint producer into a specialist in adhesives and
sealants for building during the 1950's. Under Mr. Squinzi's leadership, the company developed its first adhesives for ceramic tile in the 1960's. Rodolfo Squinzi called the company "Materiali Ausiliari Per Edilizia e Industria" (Auxiliary Materials for Construction and Industry) and today the company is still referred to by this original acronym, MAPEI. MAPEI is a unique company. It has transformed itself from an enterprise of the Italian craft tradition into a global scientific and technical leader in its industry. Today, from the world headquarters in Milan, Italy, Dr. Giorgio Squinzi, the founder's son, is leading MAPEI into the next millenium. Mr. Nick DiTempora directs the company operations in the fast-growing Western hemisphere.
MAPEI offers the most complete line of products for
surface preparation, ceramic tile & stone
installation, floor covering installation, and products
for concrete & masonry repair and construction.
