“Camfil is a multinational organisation that understands the importance of our local community. In 1985, the Camfil Group purchased Allied Filter and pumps. From there we grew from strength to strength. Showing that we have Irish foundations was a key reason why we got involved with Guaranteed Irish. From our Irish CEO, Alan O’Connell, to our 50 strong workforce, we felt the Guaranteed Irish mark was important to showing our customers that, not only are they dealing with a world leader in clean air solutions, but also a local company that manufactures and supplies from our manufacturing plant in Dublin.” - Don Donovan, Camfil Ireland MD and V.P of Sales Ireland, Italy, Belgium and Netherlands

“By using the Guaranteed Irish mark, Colm Warren Polyhouses highlight to customers that they have a first class quality product available right here on their doorstep. The Polytunnels, Greenhouses, Agri-shelters and Canopy structures are manufactured in Ireland and installed by our company.

“I developed a customised water pump solution designed to answer the specific needs of the Irish market for Calpeda Pumps but my project lay dormant for some time. Around the time of the recession, I saw that a recovery in housebuilding was inevitable and I resurrected it. But, I needed to find a way to differentiate myself from the competition. I got the idea to apply for the Guaranteed Irish mark from one of my customers who told me that since we manufactured in Ireland, we should let customers know this since people love to buy Irish products. It’s a very competitive market at the best of times and I have a lot of foreign competitors who have big marketing budgets but, when we obtained the prestigious Guaranteed Irish accreditation, they helped us to overcome this hurdle.” - Graham Fay (left in picture), Managing Director, Calpeda Pumps Ireland
