Irish Cement has manufactured high quality cement in Ireland for over eighty years. Since commencing operations at Drogheda and Limerick in 1938, the company has continually invested in enhancing the quality and capacity of production to meet the demand of home and export markets.

With current installed capacity of approximately 3.5 million tonnes Irish Cement is Ireland’s leading producer and holds ISO 9001 & 14001 Quality & Environmental Systems Certification from NSAI. The company's cement products are CE marked under the EU Construction Products Regulation.

Irish Cement's plants at Castlemungret, Co. Limerick and at Platin, Co. Meath are well situated near large deposits of the raw materials needed for cement manufacture. The plants use the most advanced, energy-efficient dry process technology to produce a range of high quality cements, to the highest Irish and International standards.

In addition the company is progressing a programme to replace imported fossil fuels, used in clinker production, with locally sourced solid recovered fuel (SRF). This fuel is manufactured from ‘non-recyclable’ residual waste that would otherwise need to be sent to landfill in Ireland. The use of SRF reduces the carbon footprint of the cement and makes the plants more sustainable.

Dedicated, expert technical support to customers and the broader industry has been a feature of Irish Cement’s service since the early days of the company.  As construction techniques evolve and technical requirements become increasingly sophisticated, this expert technical support is more important than ever.
