UK firm Arkoni enters Irish market through joint venture with Linham Construction

Dublin firm Linham Construction has linked up with West Yorkshire-based metalworking firm Arkoni to form a new joint venture company in Ireland.

Arkoni Ireland will provide fire-rated, security and steel glazing systems for public and private building projects across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Founded in 1991, Arkoni employs 50 people and supplies a range of fire-rated and steel glazing systems as well as architectural and bespoke metalwork solutions for commercial, residential and public sector construction projects across Great Britain.

Linham Construction was established in 1995 and provides construction-related services in Ireland. It employs around 15 full-time staff, but the workforce can go up to 50 including sub-contractors during busy periods.

“This is a great opportunity for Arkoni and Linham to introduce the highest spec fire glazing solutions into the Irish market,” said Arkoni Ireland MD Frank Flynn.

“Arkoni’s manufacturing skills are a highly attractive proposition on this side of the Irish Sea and we are already seeing significant orders coming in.”
