Di Tempora said of the facility, "We are very pleased with the first phase, and when the following two phases are complete within the next several years, the San Bernardino site will be the largest plant in the Americas and will manufacture all of MAPEI's product lines."

The San Bernardino plant will initially produce powder products for all MAPEI product lines, including mortars and grouts for tile, cementitious products for concrete restoration, and cement patching compound for use under vinyl, carpet and wood floor coverings. The facility was designed by architect Rafaelle Greco, and sits along Highway 215.
