Japanese quake hits profits at Alps

Michael — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:21:02 +0000

The impact of the Japanese earthquake will hit profits this year at Co Cork-based manufacturer, Alps Electronics.

The Japanese-owned firm employs just under 500 people in the Millstreet-based plant, and managing director Brendan O’Shaughnessy said yesterday that the earthquake has affected the company’s bottom line this year.

Accounts just filed by Alps Electric (Ireland) Ltd show the firm’s revenues increased by 10% from €58 million to €64m in the 12 months to the end of March last year. [the above is an excerpt from an article in the Irish Examiner - 3rd February 2012]

Some Jobs to go at Alps

Michael — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:01:14 +0000

Alps Electric Ireland has confirmed that between 30 and 40 people are to be let go over the coming weeks.

The Japanese-owned company, based in Millstreet in County Cork, employs around 550 people at its plant in County Cork. Alps manufactures electrical components for the car industry.

A company spokesman said that between 200 and 300 people were hired over the past two years to clear a backlog in customer demand worldwide.

He said these staff were specifically hired to catch up on orders and were aware their employment was short-term. He accepted, however, that the news was upsetting for employees. Staff were briefed at a meeting on the site last week.

Aidan McCaul 30 years in Business in Millstreet

Michael — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 09:45:50 +0000

Aidan McCaul’s hardware & furniture shop is in business for 30 years this year in Millstreet. It started in Minor Row in June 1981 in the old Hibernian Dance Hall (owned by Kit Radley who was a grocery shopkeeper next door) after Buckley’s Stores went out of business. A year later it moved to the Square after Aidan purchased former executive offices of Buckleys, gutted them & turned them into a shop. For the past 30 years the business has continued with Aidan & Tim Long present throughout that time. In later years Aidan’s son Tony has also worked in the business.
