Happy New Year! 2025

Happy New Year! At Cygnum our mission is to start the year as we mean to continue, delivering sustainable housing at speed and scale!

Cygnum’s innovative MMC systems directly impact a project’s sustainability and carbon content, acting as a carbon sink for the life of the building.

Our manufacturing processes guarantee minimal waste by utilising precision custom CNC machinery.

Along with this, we recognised the collective achievements and successes over the past 27 years of team Cygnum, Managing Director John Desmond thanked all the staff, old and new, and expressed his gratitude for everyone’s positive contribution and hard work over the years.

Well done team Cygnum, here’s to more years of growth, innovation, and making an impact together.

Welcoming ISSARD TO Cygnum

We recently had the privilege of welcoming the team from Ireland’s Specialist Search and Rescue Dogs to use our manufacturing plant for their training exercises.

ISSARD is a volunteer organisation dedicated to training and deploying specialised dogs for the search, rescue, and recovery of missing persons throughout Ireland.

We jumped at the chance to have these amazing dogs and their handlers on-site, and will hopefully be welcoming them back soon ‍

Built To Innovate Visit

We were delighted to welcome a group of Government and industry representatives to visit Cygnum’s advanced, 4.0 digitally enabled, Lean manufacturing & site erection operations.

The group included representatives from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Department of Further Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Coillte, University College Dublin (UCD) & Enterprise Ireland’s housing team.

The visitors were impressed by our highly automated manufacturing plant and visited one of our local sites to see the benefits of Lean in practice on a building site. Cygnum is participating in Enterprise Ireland’s Built to Innovate programme, an initiative under the Government’s Housing for All which supports productivity and innovation in residential construction.

It was great to get positive feedback from the visitors on our enthusiasm to deliver sustainable housing for all, at speed and scale.
