Mapei Expands UK Manufacturing Operations with New Burnley Facility

Mapei UK, the manufacturer of construction chemicals, has acquired a new production and distribution facility at Frontier Park, Burnley.

Located just off Junction 9 of the M65, the new site will replace the company’s two existing Burnley facilities, bringing manufacturing, warehousing, technical services and office space together under one roof.

New Burnley Facility

The new facility represents an investment of plus £40 million pounds in Mapei UK’s manufacturing infrastructure and will provide over 15,000 m² of warehouse space, alongside an additional 1066m² which will include a technical training academy and laboratory. It will also provide increased yard space, helping to improve logistics, storage capacity and operational efficiency.

Frontier Park will become the centre of Mapei UK’s construction business which will include extruded membranes manufacturing operations, and the installation of a brand-new powder plant technology to increase production capacity, providing the flexibility and infrastructure to support continued expansion for years to come.

UK Manufacturing

The investment will also allow Mapei UK to bring the manufacture of selected products currently imported into the UK in-house, improving product availability and reducing lead times.

Phil Breakspear, Mapei UK’s Managing Director, commented: “The new Burnley facility represents another significant investment in the UK market and underlines our long-term commitment to British manufacturing.

“This new site is a platform for future growth, increasing our production capabilities and ensuring we continue to provide the high levels of quality, innovation and customer service that Mapei UK is renowned for.”
