Kapp & Peterson's Move to a New Factory (2022)

Kapp & Peterson's move to a new factory refers to Ireland's most established pipe workshop leaving the production building it had used for fifty years. Effective 23 May 2022, the Sallynoggin facility in County Dublin was closed, and production began being carried on in the same general area, in a new building in the neighboring district of Deansgrange. The Peterson brand thus moved to only its third production address in its entire history.

Address History

The workshop's first location was St. Stephen's Green in central Dublin. According to the record, the building was vacated in 1972 and production moved to Sallynoggin; the Irish press's account also holds that the workshop left the city center in the 1970s. The 2022 move is therefore only the brand's second relocation.

The fifty years spent at Sallynoggin correspond to the period in which the workshop placed greater emphasis on limited collector-oriented series rather than mass production. Series built on island identity such as Erin Go Bragh, and commemorative collections such as Mark Twain, took shape in this building.
