The Irish Exporters Association has announced that three Louth businesses have received shortlist nominations for this year’s prestigious Export Industry Awards.
Carlingford Oyster Company has been shortlisted in the Seafood Exporter and Sustainable Food and Drink Exporter categories. Dunleer based Suretank has been nominated in the Export Innovation Category. Easydry from Dundalk has been shortlisted in four categories: Export Innovation of the Year, Manufacturing Exporter of the Year, Private Irish Business of the Year and Sustainable Trade Exporter of the Year.
The Export Industry Awards recognise excellence across Ireland’s export sector. This year, there are 12 award categories, ranging from manufacturing to life sciences, covering topics such as sustainability and innovation.
The category winners and the 2025 Overall Exporter of the Year will be announced at the 23rd Export Industry Awards and Gala Dinner on the 3rd October 2025 at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.
Speaking at the announcement, Simon McKeever, CEO of the IEA, said, “The Export Industry Awards are a celebration of the remarkable achievements of Ireland’s exporters. I would like to congratulate all shortlisted companies on this outstanding accomplishment.
