Galtee Group hosts island-wide industry forum to explore export cluster opportunities
Galtee Group gathered industry leaders in Ballylanders for market insights, facility tours and discussions on forming an all-island export cluster to drive growth.
The all-Ireland cluster event was held at the Galtee Group’s Co Limerick facility
In mid-October all roads led to Co Limerick and the production facility of the Galtee Group in Ballylanders. Galtee held a customer day and invited Gareth Sherry and IWIN to host a conversation on the setting up of an export cluster with companies from all over the island of Ireland.
Over 20 different leading Irish companies were in attendance for a networking lunch, followed by a presentation from Eoin Ryan, managing director of the Galtee Group, outlining history, products and services and the recent lean and digital advancements the company have gone through.

And a big thank you to the Galtee Group for organising the day and congratulations on all the progression over the past two years.”
