Ntron Gas Measurement Ltd's new 30,000-sq-ft manufacturing facility at Mullaghboy Industrial Park, Navan, Co Meath, has been officially opened by Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, Damien English TD.

Oxygen measurement sector

Operating in Navan since 1987, Ntron works in the oxygen measurement sector across a range of industries, such as pharmaceutical, gas generation and additive manufacturing. In January 2019, Ntron became a part of the Process Sensing Technologies (PST) group of companies, resulting in a much more extensive product offering. Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development Damien English TD said: “I am delighted to join with Ntron Ltd for the official opening of their second manufacturing site in Navan, Co Meath. "This 30,000-sq-ft expansion gives the company the increased capacity it needs to meet the increasing global demand for specialised gas measurement units. In particular, I would like to congratulate David Beirne and all the staff here at Ntron for this incredible achievement. "Ntron has been part of Navan life for over 30 years. A company with global ambition, Ntron are now selling into multiple markets including Europe, the US and even as far afield as India and China.

'Exceptional engineering talent'

"I am also delighted to learn that Ntron have experienced significant growth over a number of years and now employ 36 staff. This success is attributable to the technical skills that you have on site here in Navan and demonstrates the exceptional engineering talent, coupled with a strong and driven management team of the business.” Stephen Creaner, executive director, Enterprise Ireland, said: “Enterprise Ireland has worked closely with Ntron over a number of years to support the company in their growth phase to become a market leader. "It is exciting to see this highly innovative company go from strength-to-strength with further plans for its R&D roadmap and recruitment here in Navan. Enterprise Ireland will continue to work with Ntron as they build scale and expand their global market reach. We wish them every success for the future.”
