32 jobs are at risk in Co Offaly, with the possible closure of the EJ iron foundry.
A statement from the company, which manufactures a range of manhole covers and drainage grates for the construction industry, says it is fully committed to retaining a competitive Irish business with a sustainable future.
A consultation process is underway with the employees at the foundry in Birr.

EJ says it will continue to employ 18 staff in Birr, where steel fabrication will continue, alongside its distribution centre and sales team.
The iron foundry work will be transferred to France.
