From Portlaoise to All of Ireland
The Beginning
When new Construction Product Regulations left fabricators searching for guidance, a group of industry leaders came together in Portlaoise. The Irish Association of Steel Fabricators was born.
Growing Network
Membership expanded rapidly as fabricators and suppliers from across Ireland — north and south — joined the network. Training programmes launched and certifications became accessible.
Digital Transformation
Adapted to new challenges by expanding online training and virtual networking, ensuring members stayed connected and supported throughout unprecedented times.
Irish Steel Awards Launch
The inaugural Irish Steel Awards ceremony celebrated excellence across the industry, recognising outstanding achievements in fabrication, innovation, and sustainability.
Ireland's Metal Hub
Now the go-to support hub for Ireland's metal-working sector, we continue expanding services — from compliance and certification to training, advocacy, and industry recognition.
Over a decade later, we're still driven by the same purpose: empowering Ireland's metal industry to thrive.
