Croom Concrete in County Limerick has been announced as the first Irish company to achieve the UKCA mark from NSAI Certification UK, a subsidiary of the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI).
As a result, the precast concrete supplier, which employs over 90 people in Limerick, can export its precast concrete products to England, Scotland, and Wales, bearing the UKCA mark.
