Case Study: Mapei achieves unified global compliance and streamlined SDS management with Selerant Hazex

Chemicals giant extends Hazex commitment to secure compliance

Mapei, a global building‑materials manufacturer with roughly 10,600 employees and 22,000 products, faced a growing regulatory and IT challenge: creating and managing more than 200,000 Safety Data Sheets across 40 languages and multiple GHS implementations while expanding beyond Italy. The fragmented, local compliance solutions strained IT and hindered Mapei’s move to a centralized, global manufacturing and export strategy, so the company looked to Selerant and its Hazex solution to unify SDS and regulatory management.

Selerant implemented the corporate/online version of Hazex across Mapei’s global offices and plants, providing a single shared database to calculate hazard classifications, print labels, generate and distribute SDSs by market, and store regulatory and non‑regulatory documents. The Selerant Hazex rollout delivered measurable benefits: unified control across sites, significantly improved data quality and consistency, easier IT maintenance, support for 40 languages and varied GHS rules, and faster assessment of product exportability and go‑to‑market opportunities.
