Founded in 1964 by the late Patrick McKeown in the village of Kilsaran in County Louth, Kilsaran has grown considerably to become Ireland’s largest independent manufacturer of a range of concrete products.

The Road Surfacing Division was introduced in 1967, followed in 1994 by the Paving Division in Dunboyne , Co. Meath and in 1996 with the Dry Products division in Brownstown, Co. Kildare. In 2010 Kilsaran opened its office in the UK. In 2021, Kilsaran Precast was launched along with the acquisition of Oran Precast. In 2022 Kilsaran introduced its sixth business unit “Materials Recovery & Recycling” which provides construction waste solutions to contractors and developers in the Greater Dublin Region. 

For over sixty years the business, has been synonymous with innovative concrete and asphalt products and award-winning design in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

This family-owned and run business is quite literally Irish from the ground up, mining raw materials from its own quarries and manufacturing end products at its various manufacturing plants across Ireland. Kilsaran specialises in making superior quality paving and walling, road surfacing materials, pre-mixed dry mortars, renders, screeds and, of course, ready-mixed concrete and blocks. The supply of standard, unique and bespoke product solutions to both the commercial and domestic market is centred on a continual commitment to manufacturing excellence and technical expertise.
