About the Business
GT Exhausts (NI) Limited was founded in 1975, by entrepreneur, vehicle mechanic and vehicle dealer operator; Mr Gilbert Tunney. Having successfully launched and operated a number of vehicle dealerships across Northern Ireland including Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Daihatsu, Hyundai, Subaru, Isuzu and Ssang Yong, Mr Tunney saw a niche in the vehicle parts sector and with that came the start of an exhaust manufacturing and distribution plant at Enniskillen. He purchased his first factory premises, and all that remained to be done was buy and commission plant and machinery, find and train staff and of course get customers!
The first machine installed at the factory was a pipe bending machine at a cost of £65,000!. He then set about finding customers and secured clients including Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Eire, where GT Exhausts manufactured Original Equipment Systems for cars such as the Cortina and Mk II Escort.
