MCP have consistently provided their growing customer base with a quality product, coupled with excellent customer service. “MCP are in the business of solving our customers’ problems and becoming an all-encompassing pallet and packaging supplier,” Aidan reveals. “Not only do MCP manage the manufacturing of your packaging, storage and distribution, we are also now expanding our operations and meeting our customers’ growing warehousing needs. “Because of Brexit and the whole Covid-19 pandemic, some of our FMCG customers are expanding their production operations and needed additional storage facilities,” he continues. “Luckily, we have an abundance of space on our 40-acre sites and were able to respond to our customers’ predicament quickly and meet their needs. Not only that, but our advanced operation streamlines our customers’ supply chain and allows MCP to manage production, stock levels and supply.”
Design and Sampling Service MCP also offer a complete design and sampling service and have the in-house expertise to help their customers to create exciting and original packing solutions. “We work with our customers on their requirements and we can produce samples and have them delivered immediately to make sure we are meeting our customers’ needs perfectly,” explains Aidan. “Our customers are at the centre of everything we do, and this design and sampling service allows our customers to trial and test the packaging to make sure it’s the right solution for them.” Customer service doesn’t just end with the right packaging design, however, as Aidan explains: “We manage the manufacturing process and provide a stock management service, so our customers always have a continuous supply of packaging. We pride ourselves on the personal service that we provide. We achieve that by engaging with our customer and their evolving needs, which ensures we have a better understanding of the demands of their business.

commissioning of their Combined Heat and Power plant at the Clondrohid site. Cork Green Energy is fuelled by biomass and uses state-of-the-art technology to create electricity. Nothing is wasted, as a by-product of this process is the generation of heat, which MCP utilise to power their 10 onsite kilns. These kilns are used for heat treating and kiln drying pallets. Cork Green Energy produces 1.2 megawatts of green electricity per hour, which is being supplied directly to the national grid and can power the needs of up to 1,000 homes. In addition, MCP are in the process of installing a 598KWp solar generation facility on 3,359 square metres of unused rooftop space at their Clondrohid site, as well as intelligent LED lighting systems, which will reduce CO2 emissions by 265 tonnes a year.
Extensive Product range With an extensive range of timber, composite pallets, custom crates, and a full range of corrugated packaging solutions, including 0201, die cuts, 4 and 6 point glued tray, and an extensive range of shelf ready solutions, in a wide range of print finishes, MCP have become one of Ireland’s leading packaging providers. “At MCP, we listen to our customers and work with them every step of the way, from initial design through to fulfilment,” Aidan concludes. “Providing a dependable, reliable and efficient service to our customers, allied to our expertise in the industry, has allowed us to grow into one of the leading pallet and packaging suppliers on the island of Ireland.” For more information, visit www.midcorkpallets.com.
