The company’s headquarters is in Birr.
An Offaly manufacturing company is announcing an €8m investment in its production facilities.
Grant Engineering says the money will fund an expansion of its production facilities and the launch of a new range of hot water cylinders.
The Birr based comany has been operating for over 45 years, employing more than 400 people, supplying markets in Ireland, the UK, Europe, and New Zealand.
Grant says the investment underscores the company’s commitment to manufacturing in Ireland, driving innovation and supporting the transition to more sustainable home heating
As part of the investment, Grant is launching a new Quick Recovery cylinder range, manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Birr and developed specifically to work alongside its Aerona R290 air source heat pump.
The money is also funding both product development and a major expansion of the company’s production facilities, reinforcing Grant’s commitment to Irish manufacturing and innovation within the heating, plumbing and construction industries.
The launch comes at a time of accelerating demand for heat pumps, driven by national climate targets, evolving building regulations and government-backed retrofit schemes.
Grant’s integrated heating solutions are designed to support homeowners and developers in improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in homes throughout the country.
Stephen Grant, Founder of Grant, says:
'We are seeing a clear shift in Ireland and across our wider markets towards sustainable heating technologies. This investment ensures we can continue to design and manufacture high-quality, innovative products here in Ireland that support that transition. Our new Quick Recovery cylinder range has been developed specifically to complement our Aerona R290 heat pump, providing a complete and efficient heating solution for modern homes.'
Niall Fay, CEO of Grant, added:
'This launch represents an important step in strengthening our position in a rapidly growing heat pump market. By developing cylinders specifically for use with our award-winning Aerona R290 heat pump, we are providing installers and homeowners with a fully integrated solution that delivers both performance and efficiency. It also reflects our continued investment in manufacturing and innovation, strengthening our ability to meet growing demand for integrated low-carbon heating solutions and supporting the future of sustainable home heating.”
The Aerona R290 heat pump uses natural refrigerant R290, which has a low environmental impact, and represents the latest evolution in Grant’s product offering. The new cylinder range has been designed to optimise system performance and hot water delivery when used as part of this integrated solution.
