Arolco Engineering Solutions was founded in 1974 in Victoria Bridge, Strabane employing a handful of local skilled locals. They initially specialised in conventional engineering and fabrication. Arolco identified a gap in the Irish & UK market to supply and manufacture polyurethane cast moulds and bought over a company who had experience with polyurethane. They are now based just outside Castlederg and set up their current headquarters with a manufacturing facility totalling 43,960 sq. ft with an expanding team of over 48 people.
