Celebrating 50 years in business - 23rd December 2021
M.A. Healy & Sons Ltd would like to wish all our customers and suppliers a very Happy Christmas and safe 2022. Today, Thursday 23rd December, marks the 50th anniversary of our incorporation in 1971.
M.A. Healy set up the business to serve the local mines and other nearby industries. Since 1971, the business has grown and expanded in ways perhaps unimaginable back then. Following the opening of our headquarters in Wexford Road, Arklow, a second location soon followed at Strand Street, Passage West, Cork. This has played a key role in serving the flourishing pharmaceutical industry in the region. 50 years on, we now have second and third generations of the family working at the heart of the business.
The past two years have been among the most turbulent for all Irish businesses and M.A. Healy & Sons are proud of the part we've played in helping our customers adapt to the ever-changing requirements and challenges the pandemic has brought. It hasn't all been doom and gloom however; towards the end of 2021 we hit a high note with the opening of an all new Safety Shop in Knockenrahan Industrial Estate, Arklow, after almost half a century in our Wexford Road premises. The year also saw us expand our Cork team & retail shop.
Of course, none of this could have been achieved without the loyal and continued support of our customers and suppliers. M.A. Healy & Sons look forward to serving the workwear and PPE needs of our clients nationwide into the next 50 years.
Nollaig shona agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise doaibh.
To celebrate the opening of our brand new Arklow Safety Shop at Unit 5, Knockenrahan Industrial Estate, we held a special opening event from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th October inclusive.

For Immediate release

Ireland Welcomes World Leading Safety Footwear with New Countrywide Distribution Deal
Global leader in safety footwear, Rock Fall (UK) Ltd, brings unparalleled safety to Irish workers after partnering with premier Irish distributor or personal protective equipment, M.A. Healy and Sons.
Having established itself as a global name at the forefront of safety clothing and protective footwear, Derbyshire, UK-based Rock Fall (UK) Ltd built its name through developing innovative products that combine comfort, value and providing safety exceeding many national standards. Amongst their extensive range that boasts a choice of boots for all industries and environments, their Roc-Met range of safety footwear was the first in the world to feature, not only toecap protection, but also metatarsal protection exceeding European S3 safety standards. In addition, the boots now feature anti-abrasion resistant thread, making them one of the most rugged, safest work boots on the market.
Established in 1971, M.A. Healy and Sons distributes over 8,000 personal protective equipment products throughout Ireland, including respiratory protection, head protection, hearing protection and of course, protective safety footwear. The partnership with Rock Fall (UK) Ltd means that this already established market leader will be providing an even broader choice to it's customers and safety boots that lead on innovation for uncompromised safety.
Rock Fall (UK) Ltd Sales Director, Richard Noon explains his company's choice of distributor for the Irish market: "Rock Fall has supplied the Irish market for a number of years now. With a demand, particularly amongst the mining and quarrying industries for a very rugged boot that protects the entire foot, we forged a relationship with M.A. Healy and Sons based on a very impressive track record to take our Roc-Met boot, along with all other Rock Fall ranges, effectively to the Irish market". Mr Noon added; "M.A Healy and Sons will enable Irish customers to source some of the best boots in the world directly from Ireland, with the added satisfaction of local customer support and shipping and at very competitive pricing".
Rock Fall (UK) Ltd's Roc-Met boots are the product of extensive research and development resulting in a number of patented components that form the world's first metatarsal protective boot to exceed S3 European safety standards. The lightweight, flexible inner plate protects the wearer's fragile metatarsal bones from impact, whilst toecap and mid-sole protectors defend the rest of the foot. Aesthetically fashioned in full grain leather, with rubber outsoles designed to withstand heat up to 300 degrees Celcius and now bonded with super hard-wearing anti-abrasion stitching, Rock Fall's unique 'Activ-step' foot-bed ensures complete comfort for the wearer.
With a number of equally innovative products expected to be introduced to its already comprehensive range of safety footwear, Rock Fall (UK) Ltd is confident that the Irish market will have unparalleled access to some of the best safety footwear in the World, thanks to M.A Healy and Sons.
