The company’s dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and customer satisfaction has set them apart in the competitive manufacturing market. 

The title Business All-Star Leitrim Enterprise of The Year 2024 comes in recognition of Merenda’s outstanding innovation, customer service, and contribution to the Irish economy. 

This accolade also recognises Merenda’s exceptional contributions to the wood veneer and laminated products sector, showcasing their commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative solutions to customers across various industries.

“I am delighted to recognise Merenda Limited for its outstanding performance in the business,” said Kieran Ring, Deputy Chair of AIBF’s Adjudication Board.

“This marks a notable second consecutive year of such esteemed recognition, honouring Merenda’s continued excellence and leadership in the woodworking and decorative solutions industry. 

“From its foundation, Merenda has carved out a niche in the creation of high-quality wood veneer products, serving both national and international markets. 

“Ronan Haslette’s strategic foresight and commitment to sustainability have propelled Merenda beyond conventional boundaries, establishing it as a benchmark for innovation and quality in the industry.

“The accreditation, which is now held by over 700 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by,” said Kapil Khanna, Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

“We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience.

“The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.”   

Merenda Limited’s recognition as Business All-Star Leitrim Enterprise of The Year 2024 exemplifies the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability in the woodworking industry.
