The firm’s automated factory needs just 15 staff at any one time to make concrete walls that deliver apartments at scale
Derek Duffy says Kilsaran Precasts can play a key role
Imagine a huge bakery powered by machines mixing dough in a massive vat before robots mould it into giant slabs and slide it effortlessly into an oven and then on to a truck for delivery.
That, on a vast scale, is what Kilsaran Precast’s 70,000 square foot new factory is like in Arthurstown, Co Kildare. The firm — an offshoot of the Kilsaran group — has invested an estimated €25m in a plant that can produce enough concrete walls to build 4,000 apartments a year.
