SPONTEX, a contraction of the words “sponges” and “textiles” was created in 1932. MAPA was born in 1948 with the creation of the world first glove made by the natural latex dipping process.

In 1997, MAPA & SPONTEX merged commercially to exploit their core competences: marketing and selling cleaning tools and products for hand protection (gloves, sponges, scourers, wipes and floor tools).
