Who We Are

The Cluster leverages the support of SETU, Enterprise Ireland and other agencies to drive sustainable growth in the region through engineering excellence. The Cluster was formed following a direct ask from industry and a successful application to Enterprise Ireland’s Regional Technological Cluster Fund in 2020.
PB Machine Tech are delighted to be a founding member of the Cluster. It is important for us to have a means to access and influence the services that SETU provides.
