We aim to build a robust network within the Irish metal fabrication and manufacturing industry, connecting members with peers, experts, and stakeholders.

Regular networking events, both online and in-person, will facilitate knowledge-sharing, partnership opportunities, and a collaborative approach to dealing with industry challenges. We want to support all members to increase their bottom line profitability by getting to know one another and work together towards a common goal.

We promote innovation and technological advancement among our member businesses and we encourage our members to adopt eco-friendly practices that contribute towards achieving a reduced carbon footprint and improved waste management.

By sharing information on the latest industry developments, best practices, software, and machinery, we want to ensure our members can be at the forefront of modern metal fabrication techniques to reduce the industry’s impact on the environment whilst members enhance efficiency and reduce costs to stay competitive and increase their bottom line profitability.

Safety is paramount in the metal fabrication industry. We are committed to encouraging members to make use of our comprehensive resources and to implement Standards in areas including Health & Safety, Quality, Environmental Sustainability, Business Management and Production.

We want to see that all of our members are equipped with the knowledge and the tools necessary to help them improve their performance in the areas of safety, quality and so on by engaging in regular training to help create high-performance business environments and zero-incident workplaces in the industry.

We are committed to supporting the ongoing upskilling of our members and their teams as they take on change and implement new systems and standards.

Our in-house training programmes and consultant-led workshops & projects focus on enriching the member’s knowledge and enhancing their technical skills with a view to operating safely, responsibly, effectively and more profitably.

Another of our goals is to be the source of information where the metal fabrication industry goes to find technical information or information of a compliance nature.

When necessary, we send queries to our connections in various Government departments in Ireland, in the UK and in the EU and they help us get answers on technical and compliance matters that are sometimes difficult to get.

We have assembled a team of experts to support our members with professional guidance and advice across a wide set of business functions that will increase the performance of a team or a business.

Irish Steel is not only interested in the operational side of business, but we are also ready to help our members create and implement business and growth plans, develop and implement HR plans that add profit to the business, develop and rollout new brands supported by slick marketing campaigns to increase awareness and win more business, develop and seize opportunities for diversification and so on.
