Mapei in Malaysia

MAPEI Malaysia Sdn Bhd (MMSB) is a manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals for the building and construction industry.

MMSB was incorporated on 4 January 1992 and business activities started in the form of trading with 6 employees. In 2001, facilities for production of powder solutions for installing ceramic tiles and stone materials were established in Rawang. Expansion to cover manufacturing of latex-based liquid products followed in 2008 and grinding aids for the cement industry in 2010. In April 2011, an automated, high-tech mixer was installed to cater to increasing demand in local and
export markets.

With continuing rapid growth, further big-scale expansion was necessary and construction of a new ultra-modern plant with facilities for production, warehousing and laboratories started in Nilai in 2013. Completion was achieved in December 2014 and all operations were running and in place before the plant was officially opened on 6 November 2015.

Within the short span of two years, production volumes were pushing against storage space and a new wing to increase warehousing capacity was completed end of 2018, together with an annex to house technical service workshops.

The company now offers a broad range of MAPEI’s product lines for buildings, civil engineering works and underground construction including adhesives for ceramic & stone materials, products for waterproofing, roofing, sealing & jointing, concrete repairs & protection, structural strengthening and industrial flooring as well as concrete admixtures and additives for cement production.

The company continues to add new product lines to its portfolio; Sports Flooring was launched in 2018 to meet the country’s growing needs for physical recreation.

MAPEI products, proven in major projects, are now made available to renovation contractors, tradesmen, and handymen at hardware retail stores with the formation of the company’s Distribution team in 2017.
