Moray copper still maker and fabrication firm Forsyths has opened a division in Ireland to meet “buoyant” demand from the distilling industry there.
The Rothes-based group is involved in a number of projects in the country, including the construction of a new distillery in which U2 rock star Bono is a shareholder.
Richard Forsyth, managing director of the family-run business, said it had launched a facility north of Dublin, where a coppersmith and pipefitters are based.
Mr Forsyth added: “Business has been very buoyant for us in Ireland.
