The Moffett Automation Team

Born from seven decades of family engineering in County Monaghan, Moffett Automation designs and delivers intelligent warehousing systems that help businesses store more, move faster, and operate more safely. Established by Sam Moffett in 2017 the company has grown from a local innovator to a global solutions partner, combining in-house hardware and software to unlock high-density storage with real-time control and compliance.

At the heart of each installation is the “Taxi” shuttle system, vertical transfer units and conveyors, all orchestrated by Moffett Automation’s own software. The result is scalable performance with built-in redundancy, seamless Warehouse Management Systems integration, and round-the-clock remote 24/7 support from their Monaghan base.

The impact is measurable. Recent projects span food producers, cold storage and pharmaceutical facilities across Ireland, the UK, Spain and North America, with individual sites ranging from ~1,400 to 46,000+ pallet locations. Customers benefit from a black box, lights out solution that increases efficiency while reducing energy, labour and insurance costs.

Moffett Automation is an active industry partner in the Cavan Monaghan Education & Training Board (CMETB) Apprenticeship Scheme, providing hands-on placements, structured mentoring, and real-world project experience across manufacturing, controls, and software. The collaboration helps local learners build industry-ready skills while creating a strong pipeline of future talent for advanced engineering roles in Monaghan.

Growth has followed performance. Moffett Automation now supports 22+ live systems, employs 115+ people, and continues to scale revenue year on year, all while maintaining a privately held manufacturing base in Clontibret, Co Monaghan.

Rooted in Monaghan’s “can-do” culture, Moffett Automation exemplifies how a regional team can set global standards, combining practical problem-solving with a forward-thinking approach to safety, scalability and uptime. From local factory floors to international clients the message is one of consistent growth.
