Mapei UK has strengthened its Concrete Solutions division with the addition of a new bulk tanker, increasing capacity and further enhancing customer service across the UK and Ireland. The additional capacity enables Mapei UK to respond more quickly to customer demand, support larger project volumes and provide an even faster, more responsive service for customers nationwide.

Operating from Mapei UK's manufacturing facility in Liverpool, and supported by its technical laboratories in Liverpool and its newly opened London laboratory, the expanded fleet now consists of two bulk tankers, significantly improving nationwide coverage and helping to meet the growing demand for high-performance concrete admixtures. The latest-generation Volvo vehicle has been selected not only for its reliability but also for its improved fuel efficiency and enhanced loading capabilities. Faster loading and unloading help reduce turnaround times, enabling products to reach customers more quickly while supporting Mapei UK's ongoing commitment to more sustainable and efficient operations.

The investment represents another milestone in Mapei UK's continued growth within the concrete sector. Alongside recent investments in manufacturing, technical support and innovation, the expanded logistics capability ensures customers across the UK benefit from faster deliveries, greater flexibility and the world-class expertise for which Mapei is recognised globally.

"Our customers rely on us to deliver high-quality concrete solutions quickly and reliably. Investing in our logistics network is just as important as investing in our products. The addition of this new tanker strengthens our ability to respond to customer demand, improve delivery flexibility and provide an enhanced service to customers across the UK and Ireland. This investment reflects our continued commitment to supporting the construction industry with the products, expertise and infrastructure needed to meet evolving market requirements," explained Alan Robinson, Category Director – Admixtures Systems UK & Ireland.

"This latest investment forms part of Mapei UK's wider commitment to strengthening our manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise and customer support network across the UK," explained Alan. "With manufacturing in Liverpool, technical expertise bases in both Liverpool and London, and an expanding logistics network, we are continuing to invest in delivering innovative concrete solutions and outstanding support for our customers.”

"The formal opening of the Liverpool production site and laboratories in April 2024, followed by the opening of our new London laboratory in June 2026, represents a significant step forward in our ability to provide a complete range of admixture solutions to the UK and Ireland markets.”

“The Liverpool laboratory supports R&D, customer support and quality control for the production site, while the London laboratory focuses primarily on customer support and works closely with the Liverpool team on R&D activities. Both facilities are equipped with the latest laboratory mixing and testing technology, with careful consideration given to their design and equipment selection to optimise efficiency, collaboration and ergonomics for our teams," added Alan.
