We have an innate sense of innovation within EPS and R&D and the use of emerging technologies – digital and otherwise - has been a cornerstone of our company strategy for the past 30 years. As we approach our 50th year in business, our new centre - the first of its kind in Ireland and the UK - showcases our capability, resources and technologies to deliver a wide range of innovative solutions. It also supports many new jobs in design and manufacturing and our expanding apprenticeship & graduate placement schemes

EPS wins National Digital Technology Award at European Business Awards
EPS Group has won the Digital Technology award at the European Business Awards ‘Ones to Watch’ event in Dublin. The company’s award submission focused on their recent €4.5million euro investment in a 40,000 sq.ft. state of the art Centre for Design and Manufacturing Excellence in Mallow.
EPS was named one of 11 National Winners from 77 businesses at an exclusive event held at the British Ambassador’s residence in Dublin last night (Monday, Feb 5th) for the European Business Awards, Europe’s largest business competition, sponsored by RSM. Director Denis Buckley accepted the award on the company’s behalf.
The new centre allows EPS to work collaboratively with their clients & partners to ensure the best possible outcome for timeline estimation; risk reduction and project delivery. This occurs by including 3D design as standard; 4D animated digital rehearsals; Design for Manufacture & Assembly; Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques; use of augmented reality for client visualisation; animation of method statements; “fly-through” digital demonstrations; standardisation of our products – with design by exception only thereafter; full traceability of all components from drawing to site; off-site construction of complex and bespoke solutions
We are making excellent progress in our BIM/digital delivery journey as a company and with our partners, a position we intend to protect and strengthen further over the coming years
