About Us
Truwood is a family-owned and managed specialist joinery company established in 1981 in County Monaghan, Ireland, where we are still based today.
Covering hospitality and commercial projects, along with retail, leisure & tourism, public works, and healthcare, we work with both new build and refurbishment projects, partnering with many of the main contractors in the construction industry, as well as architects, designers, and clients directly.
Our Story
From day one, we have been manufacturing bespoke joinery of the highest quality from our workshop in Emyvale. Initially specialising in kitchen and bar projects, we have successfully branched out into the commercial, retail, leisure, and tourism, public works & healthcare, and education sectors.
Although much of our business is based in the domestic Irish market, we have also worked all over the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia, developing an international reputation as one of the finest bespoke joinery companies in the business.
LEAN processes implemented at Truwood have led to the adoption of Stage Gate project management principles, where every project is afforded a dedicated project management team who works closely with the client to ensure the project runs smoothly.
Equipped with the most advanced equipment, machinery, and skilled craftspeople, we source wood and materials from all over the world to ensure the highest quality finish possible, building each bespoke project from our workshop floor.
Combined with our advanced project management program, our skills and capabilities equate to shorter lead times, quicker responses, and, of course, the consistently high standard of quality for which Truwood is famous.

Our Heritage
Truwood was established in 1981 by the McKenna family – which, to anyone familiar with our location, will know that the surname doesn’t exactly narrow us down! That’s because Emyvale, Truagh, Donagh, and surrounding areas here in County Monaghan - where we are based - are well known as being 'McKenna Country'.
Dating back to the 8th century when Hugh McKenna settled in the area, the “McKenna Clann” remains at large in the locality! This is despite becoming embroiled in both the Gaelic tribal wars which prevailed in Ulster until the beginning of the 17th century as well as the nine years war 1593 - 1603.
