An automation, engineering & software solutions company from Sligo have been selected as one of the finalists for the National Enterprise Awards that take place next month.

Sleater Solutions Ltd. will represent Local Enterprise Office Sligo at the prestigious awards that take place on the 23rd May in the Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin.

Sleater Solutions is a recognised industry expert in the provision of engineering, automation, and software solutions for clients in the food and beverage, manufacturing, automotive, medical device and pharmaceutical sectors.

The company, which was founded in 2002, is based at Union Road Business Park, Collooney, Co. Sligo and employs 12 full-time and 5 other-time staff.

Cllr. Gerard Mullaney, Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council said: “I would like to extend the good wishes of Sligo County Council to Keith, Shane and their team at Sleater Solutions Ltd., and wish them every success in the National Enterprise Awards Final.

“From a base just outside Sligo, they are dealing with leading food and beverage, automotive and pharmaceutical companies in the U.K., Europe, North America and Asia.

“The high-quality employment opportunities they offer are an excellent example of what makes County Sligo a great place in which to live, invest and visit”.

Shane Kelly, Managing Director of Sleater Solutions Ltd., said: “Sleater Solutions are delighted to represent Sligo at this prestigious competition and are looking forward to the chance to network with other leading businesses at the event.

“We are proud of the fact that we can work with leading food and beverage, automotive and pharmaceutical companies from our base here Collooney in Sligo, and we acknowledge the help of Local Enterprise Office Sligo over the years.

“We also look forward to the continued growth of our business, with help from Enterprise Ireland, having recently graduated to become a client company of theirs”.

This is the 24th year of the Local Enterprise Office initiative, which was won last year by Advanced Cosmetic Manufacturing Ltd., supported by Local Enterprise Office Mayo. Headed up by Noreen Hackett, the Company works with Irish and international brands to research, develop, create and rapidly innovate cosmetic products such as skincare, self-tanning and body care.

Liam Kiely, Acting Head of Enterprise with Sligo County Council said: “The National Enterprise Awards serve to highlight the very best businesses that the Local Enterprise Offices are working with across the country.

Local Enterprise Office Sligo have been working with Keith and the team at Sleater Solutions for many years and recently assisted in their transfer to Enterprise Ireland.

“We have been hugely impressed with both their vision and their determination to grow their business and secure customers outside of Ireland. We are delighted to have them as our representative at the National Enterprise Awards Final on May 23rd”.
