KILSARAN (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED

What KILSARAN (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED does

Kilsaran (International) Limited is a privately held, family-owned Irish construction materials manufacturer established in 1964, headquartered in Piercetown, Dunboyne, Co. Meath. The company operates an estimated 1,000 employees across Ireland and the United Kingdom and runs a vertically integrated production base that includes concrete batching plants, precast facilities, aggregate quarries, asphalt plants, six INAB-accredited testing laboratories, and a 2022-launched Materials Recovery and Recycling division. Its product portfolio spans eleven core categories: ready-mixed concrete (20+ variants including ClimaKrete and Cemfloor), concrete blocks, aggregates, agricultural lime, external wall insulation systems (KEWI and Ceresit suites), asphalt products (HRA, SMA, Marshall, Thermaphalt warm mix, ClimaPhalt porous, RAP), paving and walling products (ClimaPave permeable lines and Eden/Newgrange/Hexo blocks), KPRO facades and mortars, trowel-ready mortars, road surfacing contracting, structural precast (twin wall, solid wall, beams, columns, hollowcore, stairs), and recycled aggregates. The portfolio is anchored by a sustainability positioning: CarbonCure CO2-mineralisation technology, warm-mix asphalt, recycled asphalt pavement, permeable paving, electric concrete trucks, and stacked ISO 14001/45001/50001 certifications.

The business model is B2B and built on four dedicated enterprise sales teams — UK Sales, Paving Sales, Specification Sales, and Road Surfacing — supplemented by a merchant/stockist network across Ireland and the UK and a curated 'Find a Paving Installer' professional installer channel. Pricing is quotation-based rather than list-based, with nett thirty-day account terms aligned to monthly invoicing cycles. Visible enterprise and government customers span residential developers (Cairn Homes, Marlet Property Group, Richmond Homes, Ardstone Homes), main contractors (Bennett Construction, Walls Construction, Jons Civil Engineering, Ganson Building and Civil Engineering), infrastructure authorities (Dublin Airport Authority, Dublin City Council), healthcare (HSE, St. Vincent's Community Nursing Unit), education (Royal College of Surgeons, O'Carolan College), and hospitality/retail (The K Club, Applegreen). Customer segments include Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Education, Healthcare, Infrastructure/Civil Engineering, and Government/Public Sector.

Revenue, ownership changes, M&A activity, and investor structure are not publicly disclosed. The firm holds no identified parent, has no funding rounds recorded, and shows no listing on a public exchange. Distribution is direct-heavy for enterprise specification work and channel-heavy for smaller-trade volume; technical support, third-party testing, and warranty-backed specification back the GTM. CarbonCure, Thermaphalt, ClimaPhalt, ClimaPave, KEWI, and CarbonCure are sub-brands introduced from 2015 onward, evidencing a multi-year pivot toward lower-embodied-carbon and higher-margin specification products.
