2020 has begun in award-winning style for Fáisc Miotail Éireann Teo (t/a Irish Pressings) who picked up the Engineering Team of the Year Award at the Irish Manufacturing Awards.
The company – based in the Údaras na Gaeltachta Business Park in Gaoth Dobhair – specialises in the design and manufacture of tooling and metal pressed components for a range of engineering sectors, most notably in the car industry.
Established by brothers Declan and Brendan Ward in 2005, Fáisc Miotail Éireann Teo has grown, with the support of Údarás na Gaeltachta, from a small start-up with 3 employees to a very successful SME employing over 70 people and with end-customers including Bentley, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, and Scania to name just a few.
The Irish Manufacturing Awards were hosted at CityWest in Dublin and are aimed at “highlighting the implementation of smart thinking to enable competitive manufacturing and recognising Ireland’s capacity to deliver world class manufacturing”.
Faisc Miotail Éireann Teo is strongly embedded in the west-Donegal Gaeltacht community and provides valuable employment in the area.
“Fáisc Miotail Éireann is a fantastic example of the growth a company can achieve with the continued support of Údarás na Gaeltachta, even under challenging trading conditions., said Údarás na Gaeltachta Chief Executive, Micheál Ó hÉanaigh.
“This project is in keeping with Údarás na Gaeltachta’s three year strategy, and we are delighted as an organisation to see the company’s fantastic work being recognised by the Irish Manufacturing Awards.”
