In Pictures: Spotlight ‘Shines’ on the Samco open day in Limerick

IF SUCCESS follows hard work and innovation then Limerick's Samco in Adare is a 'Case' in point.

Samco was born in Adare before going global with their 3-in-1 film laying machine.

The Shine family held an open day at their multi-million euro facility in Tuogh on Tuesday, November 21.

The company was founded in 1997 by Samuel J Shine.

Twenty-six years later, Samco employs over 50 staff with an annual turnover of €12m and exports to 25 countries.

Samco Agri Sales had a constant flow of old and new customers passing through on the open day.
