Arkoni expands into Irish market

British specialist building services firm Arkoni has expanded into the Irish market via the signing of a joint-venture product partnership with Dublin-based firm Linham Construction.

The move is the Yorkshire-based firm’s first foray outside of the UK, although it has completed project work on behalf of Ireland-based clients in the past. The company — which has annual sales of around £5m (€6.2m) — provides various bespoke architectural and metalwork products for commercial, residential and public sector construction projects.

It specialises in a range of fire-rated and steel glazing systems, installing high-grade fire resistant glazing for buildings, capable of withstanding heat of 1,000 degrees.
