Its growth has mirrored broader shifts in the electrical industry—from traditional distribution equipment to smart, connected infrastructure supporting the energy transition. The emergence of electric mobility has been a particularly defining chapter. GARO entered the EV charging space as early as 2008 with experimental charging concepts, long before mass-market adoption, positioning itself as an early mover in a now critical sector. A Longstanding Presence in Ireland While GARO’s global story begins in Sweden, its Irish journey is equally significant. The company has been active in Ireland for over four decades, building a strong foothold in a market that has undergone rapid transformation in recent years. Operating from its base in Dublin, GARO Ireland supports electrical wholesalers, panel builders, contractors and consulting engineers across the country. Its role is not simply that of a supplier; it acts as a technical partner, offering product expertise and responding to evolving regulatory and energy efficiency requirements. Few companies in the European electrical sector can claim a heritage that stretches back to the early days of electrification itself. Founded in 1939 in Gnosjö, Sweden, GARO Group began as a small-scale manufacturer rooted in Scandinavian engineering traditions. Over the decades, it has evolved into a leading European supplier of electrical installation materials and EV charging solutions, driven by a consistent focus on safety, durability and innovation. Recent growth reflects both market demand and the company’s ambition locally. GARO Ireland now employs over 40 people, underlining the scale of its operations. This expansion has been matched by investment in infrastructure, with the company having almost doubled its warehouse space to improve availability and responsiveness across its product range. People at the Core Behind GARO’s Irish operation is a growing and highly specialised team. The company places strong emphasis on technical knowledge, with staff supporting customers through specification, installation and aftersales service. This hands-on approach reflects a wider company ethos: combining manufacturing capability with practical, on-the-ground expertise. A particularly notable capability lies within its Dublin-based consumer unit division, where nine dedicated staff focus on the assembly of boards. This team is ideally positioned to deliver bespoke or special requirement consumer units within short lead times. An increasingly valuable service as project specifications become more complex and time-sensitive. The Irish team works closely with both local stakeholders ensuring that products meet regional standards while benefiting from international R&D. This balance, local responsiveness backed by global resources, has been key to GARO’s longevity in the market. Northwest Business Park, Dublin. An extremly busy sales office.
