Celebrating 40th Years of Lawrence Engineering
On Friday 22 November, Lawrence Engineering celebrated 40 years in business. The occasion was marked with a celebratory Open Day at the Collooney site. Founded by Michael Lawrence in 1984, the company has grown from a small toolmaking workshop beside the family home to an internationally recognised partner for leading MedTech manufacturers.
“This achievement represents years of commitment to quality and innovation,” said James Lawrence, Managing Director of Lawrence Engineering. “We’re proud of how far we’ve come and look forward to future opportunities as we continue to support the MedTech sector in Ireland and beyond..”
The milestone event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the Collooney injection moulding facility, which was added to the business during the Covid pandemic and never had an official opening. Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, officiated the ceremony, celebrating the company’s evolution and contributions to the industry.
In the evening, the Lawrence Engineering team, along with former employees, came together at Castle Dargan for a gala dinner to celebrate the milestone. It was a night filled with great food, laughter, and stories, as everyone reflected on the company’s journey and shared memories. The event gave current and past team members a chance to reconnect and enjoy an evening of fun and celebration.
As Lawrence Engineering looks to the future, the company remains committed to driving innovation, delivering excellence, and supporting the MedTech sector both in Ireland and internationally.
