Avonmore Electrical

What Avonmore Electrical does

Avonmore Electrical is a privately held, family-owned electro-mechanical engineering company headquartered at Roskeen, Mallow, Co. Cork, Ireland, founded in 1958 by Jeremiah Sheehan. It operates Ireland's largest motor rewinds workshop — a 5,500m² facility on a 12.5-acre site with 20-tonne handling capacity — and maintains a Dublin base in Clondalkin via its wholly owned subsidiary Campbell Electric Motors, acquired in 2015. The company is Ireland's only IECEx certified facility for repair and overhaul of Ex-rated electrical apparatus used in explosive atmospheres, audited under BS EN IEC 60079-2019.

The company's core offering spans three integrated lines: (1) Workshop Services — repair, rewinding, refurbishment, balancing, and precision engineering for AC/DC motors, pumps, gearboxes, servo motors, and wind generators, supported by proprietary in-house processes including Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI), pyrolysis stripping (independently verified by Nottingham University), Baker surge testing, core loss testing, and a 6,600V Phenix Motor Test Machine; (2) Engineering Services — design, build, and commissioning of water/wastewater treatment systems, pump installations, and MCC/PLC/SCADA automation using ABB, Siemens, Allan Bradley, and Unitronics platforms; and (3) Product Distribution and E-commerce — exclusive distribution of ABB Low Voltage Motors in Ireland, authorised distribution of Bauer Gearboxes, and partnerships with Wilo, Sulzer (OEM contract winding), Speck, Andritz, Desmi, and Victor Pumps, plus an online shop covering motors, motor control, smart sensors, and e-mobility products.

Avonmore generates revenue through a B2B industrial model combining quote-based workshop repair services, project-based engineering and installation contracts, OEM contract manufacturing (e.g., stators up to 55kW for Sulzer), predictive-maintenance service contracts, and hardware distribution margins. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with 30+ site engineers and territorial business development managers covering all Irish regions, supplemented by direct retail/e-commerce. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no external funding rounds; the company operates under the Avonmore Group holding structure with current Managing Director Derry Sheehan, COO Dave Connell, and CFO Michael Twohig.
