Customer Overview: Mutec Mercedes-Benz, Dublin
Mutec Mercedes-Benz is an authorised Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealership operating in Dublin since 1995. As part of a long-established vehicle import and distribution network in Ireland, the dealership provides:
- New and used commercial vehicle sales

With a high-volume commercial operation, maintaining regulatory compliance and environmental protection standards is a key priority.
The Challenge:
Mutec required a secure and compliant drum storage solution for hazardous liquids used within its servicing and maintenance operations.
The dealership needed a system capable of safely storing drums while ensuring effective spill containment and environmental protection. The solution also had to withstand outdoor conditions, integrate easily into the existing site layout, and support efficient day-to-day operations.
Key requirements included:

The Solution:
We supplied Mutec with a 4 Drum Spill Pallet with All-Weather Hard Cover (HPY322), designed to provide secure drum storage with integrated spill containment.
This robust system allows hazardous drums to be stored safely outdoors while preventing leaks or spills from reaching the surrounding environment.
