Warehousing company Moffett Automated Storage is creating 30 specialist roles at its newly opened head office in Monaghan.
The company specialises in automated pallet storage systems for distribution centres and warehouses. Its managing director Sam Moffett is the son of engineer Robert Moffett, who founded the international Monaghan-headquartered forklift brand Combilift.
The company now plans to expand its automated hardware to new consumers, with clients in 10 different nations.
All Moffett Automated Storage solutions are linked to warehouse management software, allowing organisation of pallets to be automated.
This means items for dispatch are waiting by the door when they’re needed.
“Along with the system to move, track and organise pallets, we developed software to help solve many of the problems faced by companies who have a need to store and access palletised stock fast,” said Sam Moffett.
“The system, by design, delivers superb density of storage, savings on energy, labour cost reductions plus significant benefits around the safety of operatives and stock,” he added.
Moffett Automated Storage was set up just five years ago.
Leo Varadkar, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade, and Employment, said the firm is becoming stronger during the official opening of Moffett Automated Storage’s new headquarters.
“I know that is thanks in a big way to its commitment to constantly innovating and looking at how to do things better.
“The team and the talent in the business is obviously a major part of its success too. I look forward to seeing what’s next,” he said.
The company’s client list currently spans 10 countries. It is one of Enterprise Ireland’s high-potential start-ups.
