Mannok Build

About Mannok Build

With over 50 years of manufacturing and service excellence, Mannok is a leading UK and Ireland based manufacturer of high quality building materials and construction solutions. Our main operations span across 3 mile between Fermanagh and Cavan, straddling the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. From its origins as a small quarrying business, Mannok has grown into a diverse industrial group supplying cement, concrete products, insulation, rooftiles, and packaging solutions across Ireland, the UK, and Europe. As one of the region’s largest employers, we are proud to play a central role in supporting both the social and economic prosperity of our local communities. Our name, Mannok, is derived from the Gaelic Fear Manach, the origin of the name Fermanagh, reflecting the deep connection we share with our people and the places where we live and work. Mannok was acquired by Çimsa, a global building materials leader within the Sabancı Holdings group. Today, the Mannok brand serves as a strategic growth hub for Çimsa and Sabancı in Ireland and the UK, with our local management team continuing to lead the business. Known for its commitment to innovation, manufacturing excellence, and sustainability, Mannok works closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and developers to deliver reliable, cost effective solutions while investing in low carbon technologies and initiatives that benefit both the environment and the communities we serve.

Sustainability / environmental stewardship

Mannok places sustainability and environmental stewardship at the core of its business mission, actively working to reduce its environmental impact and help drive positive change in the built environment. Through its Mannok 2030 Vision, the company has set ambitious decarbonisation targets, including a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and a longer‑term goal of achieving net zero by 2050 and embeds sustainability principles across its operations and products.

Mannok’s approach includes investing in energy efficient production technologies, using alternative fuels like solid recovered fuel to lower carbon emissions, and providing eco engineered building products designed to improve energy performance and reduce lifecycle environmental impact.

Environmental stewardship also extends to biodiversity and land management: the company has established dedicated biodiversity committees, undertaken large‑scale native tree planting projects, partnered with local conservation organisations, and implemented responsible quarrying practices to protect ecosystems on and around its extensive land holdings.

Across all functions, Mannok promotes sustainability awareness among employees, suppliers and communities, striving to balance innovation with environmental responsibility while maintaining transparency and accountability in its sustainability progress.
