Irish Enterprise Awards 2021

EU BUSINESS NEWS /2021 Irish Enterprise Awards 47 , Feb21072 Best Ventilation Equipment Manufacturer Air Movement Supplies (AMS) is one of Ireland’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of ventilation equipment and boasts a 40,000sqft facility filled with stock that includes fans, diffusers, silencers, dampers and more. The only Irish manufacturer and supplier of ventilation equipment and SUPERFIRE fire-rated ductwork, the store can offer bespoke, last-minute solutions, urgent delivery, and uninterrupted supply, thanks to its modern on- site production facilities. Situated in Tallaght, Dublin, AMS is a one-stop shop offering clients everything they need to complete their commercial or industrial construction project, from ductwork, grilles, fans and channels, to flexible ducts, threaded rods, and everything in between. The store even has its own in-house spray- painting booth which enables the team to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Priding itself on unparalleled service and support to customers, AMS guarantees a speedy turnaround for all of its in-house products and, due to its ability to manufacture on-site, it never runs out of stock. The store is open 7.30am-5pm and can arrange special delivery anywhere in Dublin or nationwide at a specific time that suits the client. AMS is also the only manufacturer of SUREFIRE fire-rated ductwork, which is CE marked under standard EN12101-7 for smoke extraction and designed to meet the various fire safety requirements within the building industry today. The prevention of fire spread through ducted systems is of critical importance, as non-fire- resisting ductwork systems can be responsible for allowing the initial spread of fire and smoke between compartments. The correct use of fire-rated ductwork will maintain fire compartmentation and assist in the safe dispersal of hazardous smoke and fumes. The SUREFIRE system has been comprehensively tested by Warrington Fire Research Department, achieving 245 minutes, the highest fire rating achieved by a ventilation duct. AMS adheres to the strictest procedures in the fields of manufacturing, installation, and inspection, and certification on completion of works is provided by the store’s trained inspectors. During the period of uncertainty that has been the pandemic, AMS has continued to manufacture locally without delay, while delivering consistently high-quality products and quick turnaround times. The store has missed welcoming its clients into its showroom over the last year, so has introduced appointment showroom tours for those who would like to see the extensive range of products it stocks and manufactures. Indeed, there has never been a more important time for clients to support their local Irish manufacturer, which has had to overcome fierce international competition from rival importers. However, the company did not shrink back from the challenge and has pressed on to succeed in pushing its name across the world. AMS is currently working on very large projects with Microsoft and Amazon, and it has previously completed projects for clients including Facebook, Google, Intel, Coca Cola, Ryan Air HQ, Primark and Tesco, to name a few. The team at AMS is looking forward to taking on more exciting projects in the future.
