Gypsum Industries
Gypsum Industries is a market leader in
plasterboard and plaster. They’ve been manufacturing in Ireland
since 1936, mining gypsum from a deposit at Knocknacran, County
Monaghan. From this raw material, an extensive range of
plasterboards and plasters are manufactured at their production
plant in Kingscourt, County Cavan.
All of Gypsum Industries’
products are specifically designed and formulated for the Irish
construction industry. Their plasterboards and plasters are
marketed under the Gyproc brand, although the company also
distributes Gypframe Metal, Gyproc Ceiling Products, Blue Hawk and
Artex DIY products.
