Matilda’s Planet Ireland in association with Limerick City Build is proud to announce the official opening of its factory in Limerick by Pat Breen TD, Minister for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection. The factory will produce Matilda’s Blanket, an extraordinary innovation in internal wall insulation and the only one of its kind in the world. The factory will employ 30 plus staff directly and indirectly when fully operational. Matilda’s Blanket will provide clients with the necessary results to enable them to take advantage of the Better Homes Energy Programme run by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.

Matilda’s Planet was founded by philanthropist and social entrepreneur David Evans MBE. David is the first person to receive an MBE for corporate social responsibility. Matilda’s Planet is a social enterprise committed to its values: social responsibility, sustainability and providing practical solutions to make homes warmer and healthier, hence the association with Limerick City Build.
