Founded in 1964 by the late Patrick McKeown in the village of Kilsaran in County Louth, Kilsaran has grown considerably to become Ireland’s largest independent manufacturer of a range of concrete products.
For over sixty years the business has been synonymous with innovative concrete and asphalt products and award-winning design in Ireland and the United Kingdom. This family-owned and run business is quite literally Irish from the ground up, mining raw materials from its own quarries and manufacturing end products at its various manufacturing plants across Ireland.
Kilsaran specialises in making superior quality paving and walling, road surfacing materials, pre-mixed dry mortars, renders, screeds and, of course, ready-mixed concrete and blocks. The supply of standard, unique and bespoke product solutions to both the commercial and domestic market is centred on a continual commitment to manufacturing excellence and technical expertise.
Kilsaran are trusted by businesses and contractors alike to produce quality construction materials that are fundamental in the creation of our national infrastructure, including large commercial buildings, domestic and agricultural construction, office blocks and major road networks.
At Kilsaran, we are proud to be part of the Guaranteed Irish family of brands supporting local jobs and communities. Finding the best solutions for all our customers and bringing innovative and unique products to the market is what drives and motivates us. We call it ‘ideas taking shape’.

A community-based mental health support, suicide intervention, and bereavement support charity — based in Kilkenny and Laois, serving all of Ireland.
The Thomas Hayes Trust CLG was founded in February 2014 by Angela Hayes and her family. Angela's husband Tommy died by suicide in 2002, leaving her to raise their four young sons. Nine years later, in 2011, her son Thomas — then just 19 years old — also died by suicide, on the anniversary of his father's death. Having experienced the devastation of losing both a husband and a child to suicide, and recognising the profound lack of accessible support available in Ireland, Angela transformed her grief into action — establishing Teac Tom (Tom's House) as a safe, welcoming space for people affected by suicide and mental health challenges.
"By helping others, The Thomas Hayes Trust will commemorate the life of Thomas — a son, brother and friend, and remember his father Tommy."
— Angela Hayes, Founder & CEO
Teac Tom does not receive ongoing government funding or subsidies. Every service we provide is made possible by the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners like you.
