Innovation & experience that delivers for the distilling industry
Complete stainless-steel engineering for the distillery industry
The number of people visiting brewery and distillery visitor centres increased by 7.2%, from 2.6 million in 2017 to 2.8 million in 2018 according to new figures from the Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland. From just four distilleries in 2013, Ireland boasted 25 distilleries in operation as of June 2019. As consumer interest in locally brewed and distilled beverages continues to rise, demand can often exceed supply, resulting in many brewers and distillers seeking to expand and increase production.

Why is stainless-steel used in the distilling industry?
The alcohol industry is one of the largest worldwide. The majority of the equipment in the industry you will find is made from stainless steel. As one of the most important industries in numerous economies it is critical that the equipment is of the highest standard. There are several reasons why stainless-steel is the right choice:
- It is easy to clean and maintain.
- The equipment doesn’t leak.
- Its sheer strength.
- It is an environmentally friendly material.
- It has a long-life cycle.
