The Kingspan Group was founded in 1972 as a small family business in the Republic of Ireland. The Group was initially involved in manufacturing metal cladding and roll-formed structural sections. During the early 80s and 90s, the Group expanded into manufacturing insulated panels and insulation products, and established manufacturing plants in the U.K., Ireland and throughout Europe. Kingspan entered the North American market in 2007, and in a few short years became the largest volume seller on the continent. Today we reach a global market, with manufacturing, distribution and commercial operations throughout Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East.
