Dolmen Engineering changes its name to NIRAS Ireland

Dolmen Engineering is changing its name to NIRAS Ireland with immediate effect. Since Dolmen Engineering was acquired by NIRAS in 2022, the companies have cooperated ever more closely, and consequently the next natural step is to merge the two business units under the NIRAS brand.

NIRAS is a leading consultant to the Danish Pharma and Life Sciences industry and the company provides consultancy to leading Food and Beverage companies worldwide.

“Since Dolmen Engineering joined NIRAS in 2022, there has been a tremendous effort to fully integrate the company into NIRAS. We have now reached the point where the two companies are fully integrated, and therefore it makes sense to take the next step and rename Dolmen Engineering as NIRAS Ireland as a reflection of this unity,” says senior vice president in NIRAS, Thomas B. Olsen.

Seamless integration into NIRAS

Merging two companies from two different countries can prove a challenging task, but according to Thomas B. Olsen the integration has been very smooth and satisfactory.

“There has been a great willingness from our employees in both Ireland and Denmark to make Dolmen Engineering a fully integrated part of NIRAS. This has shown NIRAS’s capacity to welcome new colleagues on board and to make everybody work together as a team. With the name change, we are demonstrating our clear ambition to take our position as a leading independent advisor to the Life Science industry in Denmark abroad and expand our markets further,” says Thomas B. Olsen.

For Niall Corrigan, managing director of NIRAS Ireland, the merger has also been a surprisingly easy task:

“I have to say, it has been a wonderful experience to form part of NIRAS, both on a personal level for myself and the employees, but also from a business perspective. We have seen that the integration has happened very seamlessly on all levels. We are offering services to NIRAS in Denmark with their existing client base. Likewise, NIRAS has also provided us with the opportunity to provide additional services, and this has gone down really well with our clients in Ireland.”

NIRAS Ireland now has a full suite of service for the pharma and life science sector

With the integration, NIRAS Ireland has for the past year have added additional  competencies regarding Engineering Design,  Project Management, Commissioning / Qualification / Validation, and Contract Services.

“During the last year, we have experienced an excellent cooperation between our offices in Ireland, Denmark and other countries. We have been proven right in our assumption that Dolmen Engineering and NIRAS would form a perfect match in terms of expertise areas, professional capacities, and access to different markets. We can draw on a complete set of expertise, not least process industry experts in Denmark, The Netherlands, and United Kingdom. With this name change, we want to emphasize that NIRAS is one company that offers a complete suite of services and can serve as one-stop consultancy shop for the Irish, British and European Life Sciences and food and beverage sectors,” says Niall Corrigan.
