Lowflo expansion plans mark a significant milestone for an Irish-owned company working at the centre of sustainable water management. The Dublin-based leak detection specialist has opened a new headquarters and aims to increase its workforce from 54 employees to 200 by 2030.
The announcement comes as Lowflo celebrates 20 years in business, highlighting the growing demand for technologies that help utilities, businesses and public bodies reduce water loss and improve network efficiency.
Lowflo expansion creates a platform for international growth
Lowflo’s new headquarters at Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, was officially opened by Peter Burke TD, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Trade, alongside Lowflo CEO Charles Dwyer and Mark Christal, Executive Director at Enterprise Ireland.
The investment is expected to support the creation of 150 new roles by 2030. Planned positions will cover a broad range of areas, including:
- Specialist water and environmental services
- Engineering and technical operations
- Technology and digital monitoring
- Business support and administration
The Dublin facility will provide additional space for Lowflo’s growing team while strengthening its ability to serve customers in Ireland and overseas markets. The company says the new base will also help it develop services and expand operational capacity.
Enterprise Ireland backs Irish-owned scale-up
Enterprise Ireland described the development as an important next step in Lowflo’s growth journey. Supporting Irish-owned companies as they scale internationally remains a core priority for the state agency, alongside the work of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and IDA Ireland in promoting enterprise and investment.
The Lowflo expansion reflects wider efforts to build high-value employment in Ireland, particularly in specialist engineering, environmental technology and infrastructure services.
