Our Story

Kingspan’s story began in 1965, when Eugene Murtagh set up an engineering business in a pub in Kingscourt, Ireland. Ten years later, the growing company moved into a new group office in the town.

From these beginnings, Kingspan has grown into an international business delivering high-performance building solutions, driven by innovation, sustainability and its Planet Passionate programme.

The CEME division’s growth has been shaped by investment and by bringing new businesses into the group. Milestones include a Czech manufacturing facility in 1998, expansion into Poland in 2003 and Hungary in 2005, Paroc Panel System in 2016, TeraSteel in Romania and Serbia in 2021, and construction of a new manufacturing plant in Lehliu, Romania, announced in 2024.

Today, people across CEME contribute to this shared ambition: making buildings perform better and helping accelerate the transition to a net-zero emissions built environment, with the wellbeing of people and the planet at its heart.
