Mapei UK invests in new Burnley manufacturing facility
Mapei UK has further strengthened its commitment to manufacturing in the UK with the acquisition of a new production and distribution facility at Frontier Park in 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.
The new facility represents a significant investment of more than £40m 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, improving logistics, storage capacity and operational efficiency.

Frontier Park will become the centre of Mapei UK’s construction business, housing its extruded membranes manufacturing operations. Additionally, the installation of state-of-the-art powder plant technology will boost production capacity, providing the flexibility and infrastructure needed to support continued expansion for years to come.
The investment will also allow Mapei UK to bring the manufacture of selected products currently imported into the UK in-house, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and British manufacturing while improving product availability, reducing lead times and delivering an even higher level of service to customers.

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.”
