Site of former Tipperary glass factory up for sale after significant local job losses in 2025
Former Taylor Made glass factory up for sale in Templemore
One of Templemore’s more notable commercial properties has come to market in recent weeks, with the former Taylor Made factory now up for sale.
The glass manufacturing facility closed in October 2025. It was part of the US-based Lippert group and manufactured products including windshields and glass frames.
At the time, the company noted that demand for its products had fallen sharply in recent years and that, despite efforts to attract new customers, the business had been operating at a loss with little prospect of improvement.
A total of 62 people were employed at the factory at the time of its closure.
However, the loss of Taylor Made comes with a silver lining in presenting a potential opportunity for new business in Templemore, with the premises now available for purchase.
The property is listed by Limerick firm Power Property, which has described it as an extensive industrial facility originally constructed in the 1930s and extended over several phases.
It has a guide price of €1 million and includes a substantial factory complex with a total floor area of approximately 5,202 sq. metres (56,000 sq. ft.).
Located on Railway Road, the site is close to several neighbouring businesses, including a large Lidl store and the Whitefield Brewing Company. Templemore town centre is also just a short walk away.
At the time of the closure, local councillor Eddie Moran said: “It’s a sad day for all the staff in Templemore. They were doing great and everything was going well, but supply was probably cheaper elsewhere. They were supplying to Hungary, Germany, Poland and Finland, among others.
“It’s a pity for the people of Templemore and for all the workers who have been there for years, and their families before them.”
Hopefully, the news of the sale will bring new business to Templemore and the return of jobs once again.
