#Mapei, a world's leading #manufacturer of #construction chemicals, is strengthening its presence in the UK with the acquisition, through Mapei UK, of the local manufacturer #Wykamol to expand its waterproofing product offer.
Established in 1934 in #Burnley, between #Leeds and #Manchester, Wykamol is a company specialising in #waterproofing and #property #renovation #solutions, with a strong reputation and expertise in damp proofing, #structural waterproofing, and structural #repairs.
The company operates from two sites in Burnley: the first is the head office and powder production, and the second is dedicated to #HDPE (high-density #polyethylene) manufacturing and #warehousing.
"Mapei has a long history in the UK, dating back to 1989 - says Veronica Squinzi, CEO of Mapei - thanks to this acquisition and the recent opening of the new Speke plant, dedicated to the production of #concrete #admixtures, the Group is improving local production capacity and its presence in the UK, continuing its responsible growth strategy”.
"With Wykamol, Mapei completes its existing range of construction solutions for the UK market - says Marco Squinzi, CEO of Mapei - where we are already a leader in products for laying #ceramic and #stone materials. The integration of Wykamol's innovative products, such as #cavity #drain membranes, will enable Mapei to offer its customers a more comprehensive range of products to meet different construction needs with greater efficiency and effectiveness".
Philip Breakspear, Managing Director Mapei UK adds: "This acquisition aligns with our strategic vision to strengthen our market position and expand our product offerings. By combining the strengths and expertise of both companies, we are poised to deliver even greater value to our customers and drive innovation in the construction industry."
The acquisition of Wykamol also underscores Mapei's commitment to #sustainability and #environmental responsibility. Both companies share a dedication to developing eco-friendly solutions that reduce #energy consumption and emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future for the construction industry.
