About Us
Dennison has been building high quality trailers for over 40 years, with a passion for engineering excellence, continuous product development and the highest standards of customer service. At its modern factories at Naas in Co. Kildare and Lancaster, it manufactures skeletals, curtainsiders, tippers, platforms, machinery carriers and drawbar trailers and a range of specialist trailers, including the innovative sliding bogie trailers.
Dennison Trailers, still a family owned and run business, was started in Northern Ireland in 1964, making flatbed trailers (the company’s first trailer is still in existence and kept as a museum piece by the company), moving to a site just outside Dublin in 1970. In 1983, the company opened its current manufacturing plant in Naas and six years later, to serve the UK market, Dennison opened a manufacturing plant in Lancaster, UK.
Today, Dennison is a market leading manufacturer of semi trailers, with customers throughout Ireland and Britain and a healthy export market.
In Ireland, Dennison is the market leader in the supply of tipping trailers and in the UK Dennison dominates the skeletal trailer market. The company is also experiencing significant growth in sales of curtainsiders, platform and trombone trailers and its range of machinery carriers.
Throughout its history, Dennison has been an innovative company, with continuous research and development being at the core of the business.
In 1977, Dennison became the first and only company in Ireland to develop and manufacture its own tractor units, producing 250 Dennison trucks over four years at a site in Co. Dublin.
In 2002, Dennison developed the unique sliding tipper trailer concept. Designed to benefit operators currently running 8 x 4 rigid tippers, the sliding tipper offers higher payload, greater fuel efficiency, more flexibility in operation and considerably greater manoeuvrability on site, including sites where access and space are limited. The outstanding success of the sliding tipper in the Irish market has led to the development of a range of sliding bogie trailers for the construction industry, including the sliding mixer and sliding brick and block carrier.
