Suretank creating 80 new jobs in Louth as diversification gains momentum

Suretank is creating 80 new jobs in Louth by year-end 2025. The new jobs come on the back of an ambitious diversification strategy and will help the Louth company to reach revenues of €75M by year-end 2025 – up from €50M in 2024.

From its own facilities, Suretank custom-designs, engineers, manufactures and ships modular and tank solutions for its highly regulated and sustainability-conscious global customer base.

In 2016, 90% of Suretank’s customers operated in the offshore oil and gas industry. Since then, spurred by a global crash in oil and gas prices and utilising its core engineering competencies and expertise, Suretank has diversified its operations. It is now servicing a wider pool of industries, with customers operating in offshore wind and other renewables, data centres, pharma, recycling and electricity grids. They span 23 countries, across five continents.

The new jobs represent a significant investment from Suretank in its people and will bring the company to a team of more than 300. Suretank will hire in the areas of sales and marketing, engineering, quality assurance, operations and finance. The expanded team will provide the resources necessary to service new industries and increase capacity.

The roles will be based in Suretank’s Dunleer headquarters, as well as its manufacturing facilities, all in Co. Louth. The facilities enable Suretank to build customer solutions entirely offsite before shipping and retrofitting them. This ensures greater health and safety standards for customers and the ability to meet the most stringent certifications by building in controlled environments.

Martin Winters, managing director, Suretank, said: “This has been an exciting time for our business. We have an incredibly experienced, high-performance in-house team that includes more than 100 engineers, welders and electricians. They are the backbone to our strong reputation for excellence and innovation. It is thanks to their industry-leading expertise that we were able to ensure we meet the highest levels of certification and regulation in every industry, anywhere in the world. As a result, we always deliver on our commitments and this has enabled us to scale so seamlessly into more industries.

“Thanks to the success of our diversification strategy, we will now continue to grow our team. Our further investment in Louth will help us to meet customer demand, while also preparing for the rapid growth in operations and revenues that lies ahead.”
