Controlmate: Powering the future with innovation, safety, and sustainability

In the bustling landscape of modern industry, Controlmate has emerged as a beacon of excellence and reliability.

Established in late 2023, this dynamic company was born out of the growing demand for low-voltage (LV) switchgear, control and automation panels, and energy management services.

With a commitment to innovation and a customer-centric approach, Controlmate is setting new standards in power management solutions across various sectors.

Controlmate, based in Fedamore, Co Limerick, has been recognised with an award in the Best Emerging Entrepreneur category by LEO Limerick at the County Final of the National Enterprise Awards 2025, in Engine, Cecil Street, Limerick on March 3rd.

This commendation underscores their dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and their proven track record makes them a highly deserving recipient of this award.

Over the past year, the Local Enterprise Office Limerick has collaborated with Controlmate to identify how various supports and grants available to SMEs in Limerick through the LEO, including the very popular Owner/Manager Development Programme, could assist them in achieving their growth and development ambitions.

The National Enterprise Awards are organised by Ireland's network of Local Enterprise Offices (LEO) to give recognition to the contribution of micro enterprises to the local and national economy.

Controlmate's foundation is built on the expertise and vision of Dave Doherty, a native of County Limerick. Dave's impressive credentials include qualifications as an electrician and a degree in energy management.

With over 20 years of experience in challenging environments across Canada, Australia, and Ireland, Dave brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for excellence to Controlmate.
