After more than 20 years of collaboration in the injection moulding sector, JL Goor is expanding its partnership with Fanuc to include Robodrill CNC machining centres, broadening its support for key industries in Ireland such as medical devices, aerospace and precision engineering.

For over 20 years, the partnership between JL Goor machinery and automation expert Fanuc has been a success stories in the Irish polymer sector. Mullingar-based JL Goor Machinery is the Irish partner for Fanuc’s Roboshot range of all-electric injection moulding machines, with over 700 units installed in the Irish industry.

JL Goor’s offering for Roboshot fit-out, installation and support has grown in scale and complexity over the past two decades, resulting in record-breaking sales this year. The company has recently opened its 1,200 m² Centre of Excellence in Mullingar, which includes manufacturing space for electrical design, installation, testing, fabrication and machinery customisation, plus a dedicated training and mould testing facility. With its position cemented as Ireland’s leading supplier of injection moulding machines, JL Goor is now extending its offering to include Fanuc’s renowned CNC machining centres, the Robodrill range.

“Since the establishment of Fanuc Ireland in 2022, we have been committed to supporting our Irish customers with on-the-ground sales, service and technical support, and JL Goor has been an important partner in this customer offering,” says Conor O'Kelly, Fanuc Ireland Office Manager.

Phil Watters, Managing Director, JL Goor, comments: “Manufacturers in Ireland are world-class operations in critical industries where zero defect quality and compliant production is demanded. They base their manufacturing on highly reliable equipment, supported by local expertise. Fanuc and JL Goor have been providing this service to manufacturers in Ireland for decades now. We are delighted to extend this service to another key industry in Ireland – precision engineering – using the Robodrill product range.”

To meet expected demand, JL Goor has appointed a salesperson experienced in the machining sector, Noel Bracken, who states: “There’s real potential for the Robodrill to transform drilling, milling, cutting and polishing applications for companies in sectors such as medical devices, aerospace and precision component manufacturing. I’m looking forward to representing the Fanuc range and showing manufacturers the benefits it can bring to their operation in terms of increased productivity, reduced costs and energy savings.”
