Joe Booth, Altus CEO said: “After a great 2022 for our business in Ireland with several significant orders and a continuation of that performance in 2023, we have committed to our long-term plans for the region by moving our operations to a dedicated facility.

“With the portfolio we have, and the infrastructure we are building, our aim is to be the number one partner for electronics manufacturing not just in the UK, but in Ireland too. This latest step is helping to achieve those goals.”

Heading up the facility will be Gareth Fenton (Sales Manager), Michal Ostrykiewicz (Senior Applications Engineer) and new joiner Andras Fekete (Applications Engineer), who as a team have built on existing relationships and nurtured new ones to establish Altus Ireland as a front runner in its field. The new premises will open more possibilities to reach customers and increase business in this territory.

“It has been a joy to watch the journey of our new entity firstly in being established and now striving as we show commitment to the region, our existing partners and new customers who trust us to fulfil their projects,” said Joe.

“The response to our efforts has been far better than even we were expecting. Our principle has always been to be ‘focused on support excellence’. We believe by making these investments in the region, we are living up to that promise. You only need to look at the industry-leading brands in our portfolio to see why we have been successful in the past. With the team and infrastructure in place in Ireland, the sky is the limit for our future.”
