MAPEI becomes 'Californian' with opening of new plant
After burrowing through a thicket of red tape, MAPEI Americas officials cut the ribbon on a 111,000 square foot plant in San Bernardino, Calif. The new facility will serve California, Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming and is expected to speed delivery to the customers in the Pacific Time Zone.
At a recent ribbon cutting ceremony, company officials noted that construction of the facility involved compliance with a series of state and local environmental and safety regulations. The proposed height and number of a storage silos, for example, had to be significantly scaled back out of concern that they would diminish the view of the picturesque San Bernardino mountains that tower just beyond the building.
