WAVIN IRELAND ANNOUNCES PLAN FOR FUTURE WITH MOVE TO NEW LOGISTICS CENTRE, OFFICES AND CUSTOMER FACILITY IN NORTH COUNTY DUBLIN


Wavin Ireland has today announced a new long-term partnership with logistics experts, Ace Express Freight. As part of the collaboration, a brand-new site will be developed just off the M1 at Blakes Cross, North County Dublin, which will serve as the future centre for Wavin’s logistics and distribution operations in Ireland.

The new 8-acre site at Turvey, Blakes Cross is closer to Dublin, just 13km from Balbriggan where Wavin is currently based. As well as a logistics centre, the site will also include modern state-of-the-art offices and dedicated space for a new Wavin Academy – an innovative training centre, that will allow industry professionals to discover Wavin’s building and infrastructure solutions and learn about new products and technologies.
