Founded in 1918 originally as a manufacturer of gaelic footballs, O'Neills has grown into the largest sportswear manufacturing company in Ireland. Synonymous with GAA sports, O'Neills also supply a range of clubs, colleges and schools with rugby, soccer, cricket, handball, netball, boxing and athletics wear.
O'Neills is a 100% Irish owned company, employing over 800 people in Ireland with manufacturing plants in Strabane, Co. Tyrone and Walkinstown, Dublin. The company is vertically integrated, creating fabrics through state of the art knitting and dyeing facilities, which are sewn, printed and embroidered in house to produce high quality sporting apparel.
Inis Meáin Knitting Company, established in 1976, is a luxury design and manufacturing company. Inis Meáin is one of the Aran Islands situated off the west coast of Ireland.
Renowned for its unique history of knitting, it is a tradition that has been refined by the advance of time and technology and then reinterpreted for each collection in the finest of yarns. Bright and subtle colours, inspired by land, rock and sea, reflect the seasons.
This is the island where all the clothes that bear the Inis Meáin name and symbol of the upturned currach boat are made and exported all over the world.
