Cedral raises the roof at the home of Kildare GAA

Kildare-based Cedral Ireland, part of the Etex group, marked a milestone event in October. Cedral employees and their families, customers and members of Kildare GAA and the wider Kildare community gathered together to mark the official re-opening of Cedral St. Conleth’s Park, home of Kildare GAA, marking a new chapter in the company’s county support.

Cedral, formerly Tegral, sponsored Kildare GAA for almost two decades up until 2013, so it was particularly momentous for the company as it renewed its partnership and commitment to the county. Speaking at the event, which took place in the newly named Cedral Lounge, John Bradley, Country Manager and Director at Etex Ireland said, “This new chapter in our relationship brings back the legacy of community support and local pride under the Cedral brand. We’re not only investing in Kildare GAA, we’re investing in the future of this community, one we’re immensely proud to call home.”

More than simply naming a venue, Etex and Cedral products are built into the fabric of this modern,15,000 capacity stadium located in Newbridge. Visitors will see a range of Etex Ireland products showcased throughout the venue – Cedral Sidings grace the ticket office, Equitone panels enhance the front facade and the Viriform roofing product was used in the new 3,000-seater stand roof.

In 2020, Cedral consolidated its range of products, including roof slates and sidings, under the Cedral brand as part of the global Etex group. This move has reinforced Cedral’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the Irish market which is also reflected through the company’s membership of Guaranteed Irish.
