2 For evidence of MAPEI products as the preferred choice in the construction industry, you can look at projects around the world. MAPEI products have contributed to cutting-edge architectural complexes and challenging technical projects, such as the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai, the Lombardy Region Government House in Milan and the Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore. You ll find MAPEI quality in large public works and sports complexes such as the Bird s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid; and in prestigious museums such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Venice, and the Louvre in Paris. The MAPEI fingerprint can also be seen in restoration work on historical buildings such as Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in Venice and the Palazzo dei Normanni in Palermo. And MAPEI has been utilized in such infrastructural projects as the Turin-Milan-Salerno high-speed railway line and the widening of the Panama Canal.
