€10 Million Expansion By Portwest in Mayo
Leading safety clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers Portwest are to build a new corporate headquarters at Westport which will cost over €10 million. This will allow for the growth in staff numbers over the next few years.
Portwest specialises in the design and production of flame-resistant and high-visibility work-wear, rainwear, protective footwear, hand protection and personal protective equipment. Their products are well recognised in international industries such as oil, gas, mining and construction.
The company recently opened a new warehouse in Panama to service the ever growing Central and South American markets. Four of their nine warehouses have been expanded this year to allow for future growth. Portwest already have a manufacturing facility in Bangladesh with over 1,600 employees and recently opened a second factory in Myanmar.
