Founded in 1973, Impact Ireland Ltd. is one of Ireland and Europe’s leading multi-metal stockholder and distributor, and here we’d like to discuss in a little more depth the services they offer and why they are the ideal partner for Formula Trinity. They have become an industry leader in sourcing, stocking, and distributing a vast range of materials including stainless steel, nickel alloys, tool steel, bright steel, black steel, cast iron, chrome plated rods, steel tubes, bronze, brass, copper, high-performance engineering plastics, and just about anything else a fabrication firm could ever think to need to companies across Ireland and beyond. Their ability to cater to your needs is unparalleled, and we’d encourage anyone in the market to take a look through their catalogues before they do anything else.
“Going that extra mile” is the phrase the Irish Manufacturing Magazine used to describe them in 2016, and even today, in the midst of Brexit and Covid, they have patiently worked with us and their regular customers to ensure we are can get all the materials we need, while holding to guidelines to protect staff.
We of all people know how tough it is to try and work to get a problem work under all the restrictions, which makes it all the more impressive that they are handling it in their stride with almost no downturn in their service. One reason for that is how they have always operated under a customer-focused business model.
Brexit was another roadblock for their distribution which was met by a robust mitigation strategy to ensure every customer continues to be looked after. To add to their three-facility distribution system, they also feature a broad global portfolio of sources and a keen understanding of international standards. With facilities in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast, they provide a first-class rapid order and next day dispatch of our extensive range of stock materials no matter where you are. Furthermore, you can rely on the materials, processes, and customer service all being top quality, a fact which is backed up with their consistently maintained AS9120B & BS EN 9001:2015 quality standards
The upshot of this is that Impact is uniquely positioned to provide you with rapid and diligent assistance in sourcing any metal or plastic you need to solve issues you face in your project. As well, they can cut your fabrication time with their pre-processing cuts, at your request.
Whether it’s cutting, chamfering, turning, or billeting, Impact will make sure that the material you get is as close to ready for you as they can get it.
They have invested incredible effort in dedicated cutting technology to efficiently process your cutting requirements, letting your own staff concentrate on the expert engineering they’re trained for, rather than cutting getting the material to a shape you need it in to get started. Other advantages include making sure you avoid hidden costs and scrap, ensuring you can order and hold less stock and make sure that any pre-processing is done before the material gets to you.
All of this dedication is borne out in their public stature, as many independent organisations have celebrated the commitment Impact Ireland has to quality. In 2016, the South Dublin shortlisted it for its Business awards, noting its contribution to both the industry and community, which we as partners can attest to. They also earned the TEG Supplier of the Year Award in 2015.
All of this has earned them some prestigious customers. Impact Ireland have been appointed as the exclusive distributor in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom for Boston Centerless, and within Ireland, now that the traditional suppliers have been put behind a trade barrier with Brexit, there has never been a better time to do business with them. If you’re not yet convinced, there is one note that, though less substantive, is no less significant way how Impact Ireland are the ideal partners for us, and how any motorsports enthusiast should be looking to source their metals from them.
They have for many years been official partners of the Historic Racing Car Association of Ireland racing across Ireland, and their Director Bernard Foley being, at the time I write this, leading the Scratch Championship with his MGB GTV8. Go get ‘em Bernard!
