HUGHES PRECAST PRODUCTS LIMITED

What HUGHES PRECAST PRODUCTS LIMITED does

Hughes Precast Products Limited is a privately held Northern Ireland manufacturer of precast concrete products, founded in 1995 and operated from a single site at 338 Monaghan Road, Middletown, Co. Armagh, on the border with the Republic of Ireland. The company produces a catalogue of building products (window sills, lintels, both reinforced and prestressed, quoins, chimney caps, flue gatherers, meter boxes, thresholds, hollowcore flooring via referral, and balustrade walls), groundworks and landscaping items (pier caps, wall caps, kerbs, fencing posts and panels, paving flags, gully surrounds, traffic cones), agricultural products (cattle slats, pig slats, slurry channels, feeding troughs, water drinkers, posts and fences, tank covers, well liner lids), and specialist civil products (road gullies, water marker posts). Manufacturing uses both dry-cast and wet-cast techniques in ISO-compliant facilities, with high-strength concrete specifications such as C40/50 for sills and low water/cement ratios for agricultural slats intended for corrosive environments.

The business operates a sales-led, quote-based model: customers engage the company by phone (028 37568392 from the UK, 048 37568392 from ROI), email ([email protected]), or an online contact form, with delivery arranged nationwide across the UK and Ireland subject to minimum order quantities and self-collection available from the Middletown premises. Products are sold as one-off transactions rather than on subscription or contract; pricing is not publicly disclosed and bespoke items such as special sills for stone cladding are manufactured to order. The customer base spans the construction sector, the farming sector (cattle, pig, and sheep), civil and industrial projects, and private/consumer landscaping buyers, with no named enterprise customers disclosed and no digital self-serve or e-commerce channel. CE Declarations of Performance, IS EN 12737 compliance for agricultural slats, BS 5642 compliance for sills, and externally audited factory production control underpin eligibility for grant-funded farm projects and for regulated building work.

Growth, headcount, and financial scale are not disclosed; the company reports only 1-10 employees, no external funding or M&A, and self-describes as continuing to grow year on year. The hollowcore flooring line is fulfilled through sister companies Wright Quarry Products (Northern Ireland) and Spanwright UK, indicating a group structure around complementary precast capabilities. Hughes Precast has no app, no API, no disclosed AI or software capabilities, and no social media presence beyond its product-catalog website.
