OUR STORY

Over Two Decades of Kitchens Made in Roscommon

A passion for creating exceptional kitchens has been at the heart of Mark Lohan Kitchens from the very beginning. More than two decades later, the business has grown considerably, while the principles Mark started with remain unchanged: individual design, skilled manufacturing, expert installation, an exceptional client experience and the ability to create beautiful, enduring kitchens across a wide range of budgets.

Today, every MLK kitchen is designed in our Roscommon or Galway showroom, manufactured at our facilities in Roscommon and installed in homes across Ireland, a complete, end-to-end service delivered by one experienced team.

Where Our Story Began

Mark Lohan’s passion for cabinetry began at a young age. After training and qualifying as a carpenter, he established Mark Lohan Kitchens in 2003, working from a workshop at his parents’ home outside Roscommon Town.

From the outset, Mark worked personally with each client, taking their kitchen from the first conversation and initial design through to manufacturing the cabinetry and completing the installation himself. Being personally involved at each stage shaped the principles on which the business was built: listening carefully, getting the design right, delivering lasting quality and ensuring the client’s experience is every bit as exceptional as the finished kitchen.

More than two decades later, Mark has built a company and a team that continue to uphold those principles throughout each client’s journey. Perhaps the strongest reflection of that legacy is the families who return to MLK, sometimes the children and grandchildren of Mark’s earliest clients, as a new generation begins creating homes of their own.

Growing Mark Lohan Kitchens

As more homeowners across Ireland chose MLK, the business grew to meet that demand, investing in talented people, specialist skills, inspiring showrooms, advanced technology and greater manufacturing capacity while preserving the individual approach at the heart of each kitchen.

Central to that growth has been the development of an experienced team across design, manufacturing, installation and aftercare. Many have built long-standing careers with MLK, bringing years of knowledge and expertise to each kitchen we create.

A defining milestone came in 2018 with the opening of a purpose-built, 15,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Roscommon. Today, MLK operates two 15,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facilities in the county, combining advanced production technology with skilled workmanship to serve clients nationwide.

For each client, this scale and expertise remain deeply personal. Working one-to-one with an experienced designer allows them to create a kitchen around their home, how they live, their personal style, priorities and budget. That individual design is then technically developed, manufactured in Roscommon and installed by MLK, giving the client one experienced team, direct accountability and carefully managed quality throughout design, manufacturing, installation and aftercare.
