We partner with national suppliers wherever possible, then export our custom material‑handling solutions to over 85 countries worldwide. In doing so, we proudly showcase Irish expertise on the global stage.
Combilift is proud to add another trophy to its growing collection at its Monaghan headquarters and manufacturing facility, having been named “SME or Multinational with a Global Impact” in the Construction, Engineering & Manufacturing category at the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2022. This prestigious accolade recognizes companies—both homegrown and international—operating in Ireland that create quality jobs, support local communities, and champion Irish provenance.
The Guaranteed Irish Business Awards celebrate organisations that strengthen the local circular economy by shortening supply chains and protecting the environment. In 2022, hundreds of submissions poured in across ten diverse categories, from hospitality and food & beverage to pharmaceuticals and e‑commerce. A panel of industry leaders conducted a rigorous six‑week review, whittling the field down to 50 finalists before selecting the winners.
“Our Irish values are at the heart of everything we do,” said Combilift CEO and Co‑Founder Martin McVicar. He added that being shortlisted alongside such strong contenders made this win all the more meaningful, and expressed gratitude to category sponsor Etex for their support.
McVicar explained that Guaranteed Irish’s rallying cry—“support local and look global!”—perfectly mirrors Combilift’s own philosophy. “We partner with national suppliers wherever possible, then export our custom material‑handling solutions to over 85 countries worldwide. In doing so, we proudly showcase Irish expertise on the global stage.”
This latest award follows a string of recent successes for Combilift and reinforces its reputation as a world‑class innovator in narrow‑aisle forklifts, multi‑directional handling solutions, and bespoke lifting equipment. With a keen focus on reducing carbon footprints and fostering local supply networks, the company continues to invest in cutting‑edge manufacturing processes at its Monaghan plant—ensuring that each unit leaving the factory carries the Combilift signature of quality, safety, and Irish heritage.
