10+ Years Together: Recognising Our Long-Standing Customers

Some of our customers have been working with Emydex for more than 10 years. Others are now approaching 15 or even 20 years with us.

That is something we are very proud of, and something we do not take for granted.

A lot can change over a decade. Businesses grow, sites expand, technology moves on and new challenges emerge. During that time, our teams have continued working closely with these customers, supporting their operations and adapting our solutions as their needs have changed.

For us, the fact that so many of these relationships have lasted for 10, 15 and 20+ years says a lot about the way we work with our customers.

Recognising our long-standing customers

To recognise these milestones, we have created a series of Customer Milestone Plaques for customers who have been with Emydex for more than a decade.

Each plaque marks an important milestone in our relationship with that customer and recognises the many years we have worked together.

The plaques are now being prepared for delivery to our long-standing customers across the markets we serve.

And if your company has been with us for more than 10 years, you know who you are.

Keep an eye out. Something may be heading your way soon.

Thank you to all our long-standing customers for being part of the Emydex story.

Better Again: Emydex Retains Great Place to Work Certification for a Third Year

Based on anonymous employee feedback, the 2026 results gave Emydex an 81% overall positivity score, up from 80% in 2025 and 73% in 2024, with 96% of employees taking part in the survey, our highest participation rate to date. 

It is a result we are proud of, but also one that says something about the people behind Emydex. 

The People Behind the Technology 

Camaraderie was our strongest dimension this year, at 91%. Almost all respondents said Emydex is a physically safe place to work and that people are made to feel welcome when they join, and 96% said they can be themselves here. 

Developers work closely with project teams, project teams work directly with customers, and support teams draw on knowledge built up across the business. People rely on each other every day.

David McMahon, CEO of Emydex, said:  

Three years in, the trend keeps moving the right way. What I take most pride in is that our people can see the link between what they told us last year and what actually changed this year. That’s what makes a survey worth doing again. 

A Culture That Has to Keep Evolving 

Receiving the certification for a third year does not mean the employee experience is finished, or that there is nothing left to improve. One of the main reasons we keep taking part in Great Place to Work is the feedback itself. The survey gives our people an independent, anonymous way to tell us what is working and where they want to see change. 

Confidence that Emydex will act on that feedback reached 80% this year. Asking people what they think only has value when their answers stay part of the conversation afterwards. 

Urszula Stawicka, who leads culture and engagement at Emydex, added:  

An 81% score is a good headline, but the 96% response rate tells us just as much. People took the time to answer because they trust that we listen. Our job now is to keep giving them reasons to.

As Emydex continues to grow, we want to keep building a company where experienced people want to stay, new people feel welcome, and teams can do their best work together. 

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s survey, and to the wider Emydex team who shape our culture every day.

Emydex Recognised as One of Ireland’s Best Workplaces 2026

Emydex has been named one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces™ 2026 by Great Place to Work® Ireland.

This recognition follows our recent Great Place to Work Certification and places Emydex among organisations recognised for building high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures nationwide.

This year, more than 30,000 employees across Ireland participated in the national assessment process. Inclusion in the Best Workplaces™ list reflects comparative performance among certified organisations and reinforces the strength of our internal culture.

From Certification to National Recognition

In September, we shared the news of our Great Place to Work Certification, highlighting the strong employee engagement results achieved across our teams. That milestone marked an important validation of the culture we continue to strengthen across our global operations.

Being named among Ireland’s Best Workplaces™ represents a further step forward. It confirms that our workplace standards not only meet recognised benchmarks, but stand out within a competitive national landscape.

Culture as a Strategic Driver

As a technology partner to the global food processing industry, Emydex operates in complex, performance-driven environments. Delivering consistent results across regions requires clarity of leadership, accountability at every level and strong cross-functional collaboration.

We view culture as a strategic driver of performance. The strength of our internal alignment directly supports the reliability, innovation and long-term partnerships we build with customers worldwide.

Leadership Perspective

Commenting on the recognition, David McMahon, CEO of Emydex Technology Ltd, said:

As Emydex continues to grow across international markets, culture remains a strategic priority. Recognition as one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces™ reinforces that we are building a resilient organisation, capable of sustaining performance while staying true to our values.

Strong companies are built on strong teams, and this acknowledgement reflects the calibre and commitment of our people.”

A Foundation for Sustainable Growth

As Emydex expands across Europe, Australasia and North America, maintaining a cohesive and high-performing workplace culture remains central to our long-term strategy.

Recognition among Ireland’s Best Workplaces™ 2026 affirms that we are building not only scalable technology solutions for the food processing sector, but also a strong organisational foundation designed to support continued international growth.

We thank our teams across all regions whose professionalism and commitment make this possible.

5th Year in a row at Deloitte Fast 50 Awards

Emydex Technology Fast 50 Award 2016

Emydex Technology are delighted to be included in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards for the 5th year in a row, achieving some 528% cumulative growth in revenue since the first year entered.

The awards, which are in their seventeenth year in Ireland, recognise the contribution of indigenous companies to the overall technology sector in Ireland, and indeed the overall economy. Cumulatively, the 2016 Fast 50 winners generated approximately €1.6 billion in total annual revenues in 2015.

Emydex supply Factory Floor Software systems to market leading Meat, Fish and Food Processing companies around the world. Today Emydex’s Production Management Software is running in over 80 processing plants, spread across Ireland, the UK, Europe, Southern Africa and Australasia.

David McMahon, Emydex CEO attributes ongoing success to global expansion “Today Emydex are signing up more International customers than domestic ones, seven new customers in 2016 include companies in Australia, South Africa, Canada and the Philippines.”

The awards took place in the Double Tree by Hilton Dublin, on Friday 04th November 2016. Joan O’Connor, Partner, Deloitte said “We are delighted to be recognising these exceptional and innovative Irish companies. Their contribution to the technology sector is critical to the success of the industry overall in Ireland and it is clear from the turnover derived from exports that they are having considerable success in global markets also. This ambition is hugely encouraging to see and will be increasingly important in a post-Brexit marketplace, where pressure on margins may necessitate diversification into other markets. For this reason, and due to the wealth of opportunity that presents itself, we expect developed and emerging markets to be increasingly important for Irish technology companies. The success that has been achieved to date by the indigenous technology sector leaves them well placed to capitalise on this momentum.”
