Just 36 years of age, the determined duo have built up an impressive client list of over 50 dentists in South Wales and beyond, manufacturing and repairing a range of over 70,000 dental products at their spacious and well-equipped laboratories.
Romak employs a team of fourteen qualified laboratory and support staff.
Eoin attributes their success to an ongoing programme of investment in updating equipment and upgrading facilities to maintain the technological edge
"You need an attitude of complete commitment," says Eoin."Our day starts at 6 am and we rarely down tools before 7.30 pm.
"A growth strategy must include a training plan to ensure the availability of skilled workers in the future," he adds. "We have found that the apprentice system works best for our industry."
Eoin and Rhodri take supplier relationships very seriously as a means of ensuring quality, and visit suppliers at source in Europe and the USA.
"We have designated 2013 our Year of Quality," declares Eoin. "Over the years, Romak has built up an excellent reputation for reliability--culminating in our working towards the DAMAS industry-specific quality accreditation this year."
