Over US$ 6.5mn invested in expansion of Dubai production facility
1937-established MAPEI, the top manufacturer of adhesives, sealants and chemical products for the construction industry, recently inaugurated the enlargement of its facilities in the UAE.
In laying the groundwork for the company’s second decade in the region, MAPEI has invested more than US$ 6.5mn for the expansion of its advanced production facility and new offices at the Dubai Investment Park.
As the region diversifies to non-oil revenues, the construction market continues to show important and solid growth. The newly expanded facility now features an additional 5,200sqm covered warehousing for larger storage capacity, and the addition of a new epoxy resin production line will allow MAPEI to enlarge its portfolio delivering innovative and locally designed solutions.
The new offices feature more than 2,000sqm of built-up area which includes a showroom and training centre.
“Only by being closer to the local needs and combining an efficient logistic, high quality products and customer service excellence, MAPEI has been able to gain the position of one of the preferred supplier to the Industry,” affirmed Veronica Squinzi, Global Development Director, MAPEI.
“We are delighted to have been able to share our expertise and values during the 10 years of MAPEI’s existence in the Middle East and thanks to the new investment we will be able to continue this path for many more decades to come,” asserted Marco Squinzi, Director, Research & Development Director, MAPEI.
“We intend to continue our investments in the region supporting the local markets: we have recently opened a new subsidiary in Egypt and with others to come, we continue with our objective to be locally present and become a leading supplier in all the markets within the region,” commented Stefano Iannacone, Regional Director, MAPEI, Middle East & East Africa.
