What Map does

MAP S.p.A. is an Italian industrial manufacturer founded in 1904 and headquartered in Osio Sotto (Bergamo), operating three specialized production units that produce aesthetic and functional finished materials and components for covering, acoustic insulation, and thermal insulation. The company serves OEM customers across two principal verticals: Automotive (commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, and earthmoving/construction equipment) and Nautical (naval shipbuilding and recreational crafts/yachts). Its core product portfolio is organized into three categories — external body parts (SRIM & SRIM Plus Long Fiber Injection, ABS PMMA double-shell, thermoformed ABS PMMA), interior linings (SRIM interior, polyester fibre/Mapet textiles, thermoformed ABS, PUHD-filled polyurethane carpets, integral polyurethane components), and acoustic/thermal insulation systems for the nautical sector (Mapflex, NAVYDAMP, Terophon, Legetolex D300E, Fonomap, Mapfire, Termomap A, Soundfil).

The underlying technology stack centers on plastic materials transformation and polyurethane processing, with proprietary capabilities in Long Fiber Injection (LFI) — where polyurethane resin and crushed fiberglass roving are sprayed into open molds under variable compression — and Structural Reaction Injection Molding (SRIM), which reinforces parts with fiberglass mats for stiffness while preserving ABS PMMA aesthetic quality. The company operates an in-house acoustics and vibrations laboratory (established 2006) with a semi-anechoic chamber interfaced with a reverberation chamber, supporting SAE J1400, ISO 15186-1, ASTM E2249, ISO 10534-2, and SAE J671 measurement standards. R&D activities include 3D CAD design, prototyping, and finite element analysis supported by 40-year supplier relationships with world-leading materials and machinery producers.

MAP's business model is a B2B custom component manufacturing operation selling directly to OEMs under project-specific quotations with no public pricing or intermediary distribution. GTM relies on enterprise field sales with qualified technical sales support, in-house CAD design and engineering collaboration, and an in-house transport fleet for delivery in Italy and abroad. Marketing channels include trade shows (BAUMA Munich, AgriTechnica Hannover, SMM Hamburg), a multilingual corporate website, and direct technical engagement with dedicated project leaders. Revenue is generated through long-term supply contracts, and the customer base spans Fincantieri in naval shipbuilding and OEM manufacturers in agricultural machinery and earthmoving equipment. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, M.E.D. (Marine Equipment Directive) homologation via RINA, Class NK (Nippon Kaiji Kyokai) fire retardant approval, and compliance with IMO 2010 FTP Code for fire resistance classes B-15, A-30, and A-60. In February 2022, the company secured an Italian Government Sustainable Investments 4.0 grant to fund LFI production equipment, capacity expansion, and digital transformation.
