DULEEK FIRM QUALITAS LTD SCOOPS AWARD

- BY ALISON COMYN

A MEATH COMPANY has won a top award at this year’s annual National Enterprise Awards. Duleek-based Qualitas Electronic­s Limited, who are supported by Local Enterprise Office Meath, took home the Regional award for the North East region.

Founded by Alan Jackson in 2017, he says his decision to start Qualitas was based on analysis that he carried out on the electronic­s industry over a number of years. He predicted a trend where there was a steady increase in demand in the local market for a high level service providing developmen­t, prototypin­g and production of high level complex electronic assemblies and devices. This demand was coming from within Ireland but also had potential to attract internatio­nal customers if done right.

‘We were delighted, humbled and honoured to receive the award as it is always nice to get recognitio­n from within the industry,’ said Alan of his win. ‘ Thanks to everyone for all the messages, phone calls of support and social media coverage – keep sharing! I would also like to take this opportunit­y to thank Joe, Lorna and all the team in LEO Meath for their

incredible support over the last few years.’

Qualitas provides electronic manufactur­ing services to the Technology Sector, bringing products from R&D stage right through to production runs for clients. A start-to-finish service to build and assemble complex electronic components and devices to IPC Class 2 & 3 standards.

The awards, which took place virtually were broadcast online from the Mansion House in Dublin, are in their 22nd year and run annually by the Local Enterprise Offices. Jackie Maguire, Chief Executive Meath County Council, congratula­ted the winners.
