Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland are in southern Germany this week to expand trade and investment links. Led by Minister Niamh Smyth, the mission highlights Irish strengths in high-value sectors and features fresh contracts and partnerships from Irish firms across space, aviation, pharma, and industrial equipment
This week saw a landmark celebration at Combilift’s global headquarters in Monaghan, marking the 10th anniversary of the highly successful OEM Engineering Traineeship—a collaborative initiative between Combilift and the Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB). The event, which welcomed past graduates, current trainees and local educators, underscored the programme’s evolution from a local skills initiative to a cornerstone of regional industrial development.
Combilift, the global leader in material handling solutions, has been awarded Company of the Year at the prestigious Business & Finance Awards 2024, in association with KPMG Ireland. This remarkable achievement marks Combilift’s 9th major win in the last three months, solidifying its position as an industry leader.
BSS Industrial’s National Distribution Centre uses four Combilift C4000 EST electric stand-on trucks to handle over 250 miles of tube and pipe across 600+ product lines. Operating 24/5 to supply 62 branches, the trucks work in narrow 1.8m aisles and lift to 9.5m, maximising space across 2,353 picking locations.
One of Combilift’s largest capacity models to date – a 28t capacity Straddle Carrier (Combi-SC) – is now in operation at Caledonian Modular’s site in Newark near Nottingham, ensuring much more efficient and safe transportation of finished modules from the manufacturing facilities to the storage yards.
Ferguson Modular in North East Scotland now uses a Combilift Straddle Carrier to safely and efficiently handle accommodation modules, replacing cranes and forklifts. The new system cuts lift times from over an hour to minutes, reduces manpower needs, and avoids weather-related delays.
