Irish supplier and installer of offsite timber frame structures, Cygnum, has officially opened its new €8 million factory extension at its headquarters in Macroom, Co Cork.
The company said that it will support the future hiring of 150 new employees.
The expansion is expected to increase Cygnum's production capacity from approximately 1,400 to 2,500 housing units per year.
The company designs, manufactures and installs timber frame structures for residential developments.
In March, Cygnum was bought by the Chadwicks Group, part of Grafton Group.
At the time of the acquisition, Grafton noted that modular construction is one of the fastest growing building methods in the new homes market in Ireland.
Government data indicates that in the second half of 2025, 61% of homes in scheme developments had notified the intention to use timber frame construction.
Speaking at the opening of the new facility, managing director of Cygnum John Desmond said the expantion puts the company in a better position "than ever to support our customers in delivering much-needed homes across Ireland."
