When it comes to driving growth, Kiernan Steel knows that true success lies in efficiency, quality, and smart investments in technology. That’s why they partnered with STRUMIS—to bridge the critical gap between office planning and workshop execution, and to support their expanding business with a scalable, future-ready solution.
Founded in 1989 just outside Longford Town, Ireland, Kiernan Steel began as a modest family business producing agricultural buildings. Fast forward to today, and they’re one of Ireland’s leading steel manufacturing companies, operating out of a state-of-the-art 15,000 m² facility with an adjacent storage yard and over 200 employees between Ireland and the UK.
Their industry certifications-including CE marking to EN 1090 Execution Class 4, ISO 3834, and ISO 9001-highlight a deep-rooted commitment to quality. But even with all this progress, the Kiernan team knew there was more they could do to stay ahead.
Kiernan Steel was already operating with the best-in-class CNC machinery, modern 3D CAD tools, and robust accounting software. But the missing link? A centralized system to bring it all together and enhance collaboration between the office and the shop floor.
“As our business growth continued year-on-year, we recognized the need to implement technology which supported our business growth plans. With modern 3D CAD technology and accounting programs in the office, and leading CNC machinery in our expanding workshops, it was clear we needed to bridge that 'gap' between workshop and office to ensure we maximized the benefits of our hardware and software investments.”
Mr. John Kiernan, Managing Director, Kiernan Steel
Kiernan Steel found that STRUMIS wasn’t just a stop-gap—it was a catalyst for long-term improvements across every department. From material traceability and real-time employee time tracking to barcode integration and project transparency, STRUMIS brought streamlined workflows and measurable results.
“STRUMIS met, and to some extent, exceeded our demands in the early days—which included barcoding and employee time recording, features that were outside of our original remit. As the STRUMIS program has evolved, we have implemented more and more working practices within STRUMIS, ultimately delivering more traceability, project transparency, material efficiencies, and cost & time savings.”
Mr. John Kiernan
What began as a simple bridge between systems turned into a company-wide transformation.
“By partnering with STRUMIS, we have ensured we have a relationship of shared values for continued improvement, customer care & satisfaction, and quality.”
