Roadmaster Ltd.

What Roadmaster Ltd. does

Roadmaster Ltd. (legal entity Kentauroi Ltd., trading as Roadmaster) is a family-owned Irish manufacturer of spray injection patching (SIP) machines used for road maintenance, headquartered in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, Ireland. Founded in 1996 by Liam McNamee and led by Managing Director Donal McNamee, the company designs and builds three core models — the SP400-FB (16t+ GVW, 4m³ hopper), SP500-FB (18t+ GVW, 5m³ hopper), and SP700-FB (26t+ GVW, 7m³ hopper) — all featuring front-boom configuration, single-operator in-cab control, and patch-on-the-move capability. The machines execute a six-step process (positioning, high-pressure air cleaning, defect preparation, material application, brush finishing, and rolling compaction) using computerised calibration to deliver bitumen-coated aggregate at high velocity, producing repairs lasting 3-5 years versus 3-4 months for conventional methods.

The company operates a primarily hardware-driven business model with made-to-order manufacturing, worldwide delivery, and quote-based pricing. Revenue streams include machine sales, aftermarket parts and spares (24-hour international delivery), and professional services covering operator training, management training, and a 7-year machine rebuild programme. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to local authorities and road maintenance contractors in Ireland with an international agent network (ADL in Luxembourg/Belgium/Germany, Elia Peroni in Italy, 3D3 ehf in Iceland, YSK EMPIRE in Malaysia), complemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries Amycus Ltd. (UK) and Amycus SASU (France). Named customers include Cork County Council (22 machines), MGroup (10 to 20 units), Kier Highways, and East Midlands Term Maintenance Contractor. The company has approximately 23 employees, holds five industry awards, and is a member of RSTA (UK) and MRF (France) industry associations.

Core offering

Roadmaster manufactures and sells made-to-order spray injection patching (SIP) machines — the SP400-FB, SP500-FB, and SP700-FB models — used by local authorities and road maintenance contractors for preventative and reactive pavement repair. The machines are complemented by optional equipment packages (including a Winter Pack for year-round operation), a parts and spares business with 24-hour international dispatch, and on-site operator, management, and maintenance technician training supported by a 7-year full machine teardown/rebuild service.

Product overview

Roadmaster is a manufacturer of advanced spray injection patching (SIP) machines for road maintenance. The product line consists of three core models: the SP400-FB (16t+ GVW, 4m³ hopper), SP500-FB (18t+ GVW, 5m³ hopper), and SP700-FB (26t+ GVW, 7m³ hopper). All models feature front boom configuration, single-operator in-cab control, and patch-on-the-move capability. Optional equipment includes a Winter Pack (heated aggregate and heated air systems), belly brush, water wheel spray, and remote access for data monitoring. The machines use a 6-step spray patching process: positioning, high-pressure air cleaning, defect preparation, material application with bitumen-coated aggregate, sweeping, and rolling. The company also provides operator training, fleet planning, and technical support services.
