Brief history of MapTiler
We love maps. We support open-source. But most importantly, we are devoted to doing the right things.
This team spirit has been present in the company since its foundation. When Petr Pridal formed the team, he had almost 10 years of experience with freelance activities, participation in various research, and involvement in different open-source projects. His vision was to bring together people who share beliefs in the importance of widely accessible and user-friendly maps.
The team has been growing since then, and we are still welcoming new talents. Currently, the headquarters and the main office is in Zug, Switzerland. Part of the development team is located in Brno,the Czech Republic. Many of us are working remotely from various places on Earth. The company is privately held. We are continuously expanding with a growing range of products.

Our mission
MapTiler started as a one-man project and grew to a company with over 30 people in just a few years. In our team, each of us is different, but we have one thing in common - a passion for maps, and truly loving what we do.
With our software platform for building digital maps, clients produce maps that positively impact the lives of millions of people. Every month, 400 million people see MapTiler’s digital maps - in our customers' mobile apps and websites. If you check the weather forecast in Germany, buy a train ticket in Switzerland or interact with an airplane infotainment system, you may have seen our maps.
"Our mission is to innovate in the field of digital maps and make maps accessible to as many people as possible for everyday use. We are always looking to push the boundaries of cartography a bit further." CEO, Petr Pridal
