Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bunzl: Global B2B distribution giant whose safety/PPE division overlaps with Mape's catalog. Bunzl operates across multiple geographies and categories, dwarfing Mape's scale but serving similar enterprise customers with similar products.
• Grainger: Large industrial MRO distributor with a meaningful PPE category. While primarily US-focused, the catalog breadth, e-commerce-first model, and enterprise safety solutions are comparable to Mape's intelligent inventory and consulting offerings.
• Sonepar: Global electrical and industrial safety distributor with Spanish operations. While focused on electrical PPE, the B2B distribution model, enterprise customer base, and integrated safety-services approach are comparable to Mape's go-to-market.

Others

• Portwest: Irish-headquartered PPE and workwear manufacturer and Mape supplier partner. Comparable product portfolio (head-to-foot PPE, workwear), reflects the manufacturer-distributor dynamic that defines Mape's competitive environment.
• 3M Safety & Industrial: One of Mape's key supplier partners; a global PPE manufacturer whose direct enterprise sales motion and digital channels represent both a partnership and a competitive threat to distributor margins.
• Honeywell Personal Protective Equipment: Global PPE manufacturer and Mape supplier partner. Direct enterprise sales by Honeywell represents an upstream competitive risk to Mape's distribution value proposition.

Regional players

• Cederroth (Orkla Care): Nordic-headquartered PPE/first-aid and occupational health products provider. Comparable in PPE and workplace safety product portfolio, though primarily serving Northern European markets rather than Iberia.
• EPI Industriales (Afex): Spanish PPE distributor with overlapping product categories and customer base; competes directly in the Iberian industrial safety market with similar breadth of catalog and distribution.

Direct peers

• Würth: Würth's Spanish subsidiary is a major direct competitor in B2B distribution of PPE, workwear, and industrial supplies, with a similarly extensive field-sales-advisor model and broad product catalog across all major PPE categories.
• ITURRI Group: Spanish PPE and workwear distributor with comparable product breadth (head-to-foot protection, custom workwear), enterprise customer base, and integration of safety services and equipment maintenance — a direct competitor in the Iberian market.
