The two sides of the JL Goor business are over thirty years supplying the Irish Polymer market with machinery, equipment and polymer materials. By working together closely, our aim as JL Goor is to offer a total solution – equipment and materials – to our customers.
The machinery business was the start. As the fledgling Irish polymer processing industry took-off in the early 1980’s so did the JL Goor business, with John Goor building a portfolio of equipment to offer. As the business grew John was approached by some customers to find out if he could help them with some polymer sourcing problems.
The next stage was to begin building up some polymer expertise and to further strengthen the machinery side. Louis Goor joined his father on the machinery side and Gearoid Clarke, with his Polymer Science background provided the polymer know-how. As polymer sales grew it was decided to form a sister company – JL Goor Materials, to focus exclusively on this area. Over the years both companies have continued to grow and develop. Today both companies work very closely together and use their unique position in the Irish Polymer market to provide creative solutions for our customers.
