Hycraft celebrates 50 years in business

Hycraft will celebrate 50 years in business in 2022. They were one of the original manufacturers of draught excluders in Ireland helping to create valuable sustainable employment. The company are very proud of providing Builders Merchants and Hardware Stores with draught excluders, designed and manufactured to German DIN tolerances class 3, and also plastic and aluminium angles, step nosings, floor edges and electrical conduit all produced in their premises at Greencastle Parade, Clonshaugh, Dublin 17. Having diversified over the years, Hycraft also supply products to the wider construction sector including path crack inducers, fixing strips and cores used in concrete reinforcing as well as products to the transport industry. The company has plans to invest ¤100,000 in additional production machinery and space in 2022 allowing them to produce new product lines. This will keep them leading the way with innovation and employment creation for many years to come. During the 1970‘s and 1980’s Hycraft manufactured garden benches (4ft & 6ft) exporting some to the UK and as far afield as the Gulf states. Made from galvanized steel and PVC they came in a flat pack and were easily assembled using a unique system developed by the company. To add some excitement to their anniversary Hycraft are offering readers a chance to win a prize of ¤300 to the first person to correctly identify the location of one of their 1970’s benches in this photograph. A clue is that it is at a bus stop in Galway!
