Mapei Benelux NV is a subsidiary of the Mapei Group, a global producer and supplier of construction adhesives, sealants, and chemical products. Founded in 1937, the company has more than 100 production sites in 57 countries, with a range of over 7,700 products across 24 product lines. Based in Grâce-Hollogne, Mapei Belgium has its own warehouse, showroom and training centre, and distributes Mapei products through professional building materials dealers.
Sustainability is a cornerstone for Mapei, which assumes the role of pioneer in the construction industry. The company contributes concretely to the fight against climate change by developing environmentally friendly products with the lowest possible impact. This optimisation of product development started quite some time ago.
CO2-neutral system
Ten years ago, Mapei introduced Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero, a cement-based adhesive for ceramic tiles, with full and certified offsetting of greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, it has become one of the world’s best-selling and most popular adhesives. For the well-established cementitious grout Ultracolor Plus, full lifecycle CO2 emissions are offset. On top of that, the company also uses environmental credits to encourage the start-up of renewable energy and reforestation projects. Last year, Mapei shifted another gear, with the first fully carbon-neutral system for laying ceramic tiles, thanks to its switch to a carbon-neutral supply chain.
