Spanwall: Leading the Way in Innovation, Sustainability, and Global Impact

Ahead of the DBEC summit, we are showcasing some of the most innovative and world-leading businesses to have made the Dublin-Belfast Economic Corridor their home.

An excellent example is Belfast-based Spanwall, who has been at the forefront of the global construction industry since 1967, blending advanced technology with sustainability to provide innovative metal cladding solutions.

Its ideal location between Ireland and Northern Ireland enables swift access to major markets and transport hubs, making it an invaluable partner for businesses.

Spanwall is renowned for its high-quality, engineered metal rainscreen cladding solutions used in the construction of complex facades for award-winning buildings worldwide.

From Belfast to Barbados, Riyadh to New York, Dublin, and London, Spanwall has provided bespoke cladding solutions for iconic buildings such as the Titanic Visitors Centre in Belfast and Central Bank of Ireland in Dublin. Spanwall products are specified for use on building by brands such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Guinness, British Airways, and Audi.

Innovation has been central to Spanwall’s success, with ongoing investment in digital design and smart manufacturing having transformed its operations.

By integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and advanced manufacturing methodologies, Spanwall has enhanced both the quality and speed of its installations.

These technologies ensure precise engineering, efficient workflows, and full traceability of cladding components, reducing lead times, and boosting product quality.

Spanwall’s 4000sqm manufacturing centre in Carryduff Business Park is equipped with the latest digital tools that streamline its design, estimating and production processes.

The industry leader offers rapid turnarounds and high-performance cladding solutions for both new builds and re-cladding projects across the UK, Ireland and internationally.

With sustainability as a core value. Spanwall strives to reduce its environmental impact through eco-friendly materials, renewable energy, and circular economy principles.

Its fire-rated RF50-FR system exemplifies this, offering long-term performance and compliance with the latest building safety regulations without sacrificing design flexibility.

This dedication to sustainability makes Spanwall a preferred partner for projects with ambitious environmental goals.

With a workforce of around thirty skilled employees, Spanwall’s growth and innovation continue to drive job creation and regional prosperity.

Through investment in digital technology, commitment to sustainability and global reach, Spanwall plays a vital role in trade and economic growth and continues to shape the future of the construction industry—one facade at a time.
