Year-long revamp and expansion at Reynaers
ALUMINIUM company Reynaers at The Still in Enniscorthy has announced that it is undertaking a major renovation and extension of its premises and production facility to allow for further business growth and expansion.
The company is embarking on an ambitious year-long renovation and extension of its offices and production facility in a move that will see storage capacity increased by 50% and sympathetically bring this historic building up to ‘ the highest modern standards of safety and comfort’.
Enniscorthy has been the Irish headquarters of the Belgian-owned Reynaers business for over 35 years, with a workforce of 60 people manufacturing and distributing high-end aluminium doors and windows for the construction industry. Boasting clients that range from Croke Park to Tesco Extra in Gorey, the company has also regularly featured on RTÉ’s ‘Room to Improve’ and were named Wexford SME of the Year in 2018.
Following a successful period of growth in the Irish market, Reynaers has made the decision to invest further in Enniscorthy.
The iconic stone building which houses the company offices initially started life as a Jameson distillery in the early 1800s and will now undergo a complete face-lift which will see its original features preserved, while at the same time bringing the office facilities into the 21st century. The factory is also to be expanded and reorganised, with an adjacent green-field site acquired to allow for 50% more storage and production space.
Pat Bevan, Managing Director of Reynaers Ireland commented: ‘ This significant investment in Enniscorthy is a real vote of confidence from the Reynaers Group. The team here is recognised as punching above its weight in the global operation and we want to make sure that the calibre of the premises reflects the expertise and quality of what is an award-winning Irish operation.’
Enabling works on the project commenced last week, while the main work is due to get underway early next month.
The project is due to take approximately 12 months to complete and the work is being carried out by Waterford based contractor Nevin Construction, based on designs developed by Conroy Architects in Wexford.
