Crafted by Kells invests in solar to power a more sustainable future
At Crafted by Kells, long-term thinking has always been at the core of how the business operates from the sourcing of materials to the precision of its manufacturing processes. That same philosophy is now driving a significant investment in renewable energy, with the recent installation of a solar energy system at the company’s production facility.
Delivered in partnership with OHK, the installation represents a meaningful step towards reducing the company’s environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. As energy costs continue to fluctuate and sustainability becomes an increasing priority across the construction and manufacturing sectors, the move reflects both environmental responsibility and strategic foresight.
For Crafted by Kells, sustainability is closely aligned with product integrity. The company’s timber windows and doors are designed and manufactured with longevity in mind combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance standards. Integrating solar energy into the production process further strengthens this approach, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources and lowering overall carbon emissions.
This investment also highlights a broader shift within the Irish joinery and window industry, where manufacturers are increasingly recognising the importance of energy efficiency not only in the products they supply but in how those products are made. By taking proactive steps, Crafted by Kells is positioning itself at the forefront of this transition.
The collaboration with OHK ensured a seamless delivery, with the system designed to maximise output while integrating efficiently with the existing facility. The result is a future-proofed energy solution that will support the business as it continues to grow.
As the industry continues to evolve, initiatives such as this demonstrate how manufacturers can play a key role in shaping a more sustainable built environment not only through innovation in product design, but through responsible investment in their own operations.
