Our thoughts are with everyone at Nomac Productions following the utterly devastating fire at Tycor Business Park.

The loss of so many cherished costumes is truly heartbreaking. Nomac has been an invaluable support to countless musical societies nationwide, and we are keeping all those affected in our thoughts at this difficult time. ♥️🎭

Hi Folks,
After over 40 years in business, we are devastated to announce that the fire that engulfed the Tycor business centre last night, affecting so many businesses, has caused devastation to Nomac productions that has left our building in ruins. We are yet to learn the full extent of the damage, but we know that the loss we have suffered is immeasurable. Over 50,000 costumes, many handmade by us and many vintage and historical pieces that hold not only endless memories for us, but endless memories for all of those who have worn them, from here in Waterford to across the entire country. We are simply devastated.

We would like to express our endless gratitude to the Fire and Emergency services who have worked tirelessly for the last two days to control the blaze. Their bravery and dedication in the face of this danger is truly admirable, and we are deeply thankful for their courage and sacrifice.

We don't yet know what this means for Nomac Productions, and we will be figuring out those steps over the coming weeks. We know that this will be as confusing and scary for us as it is for all of you. However, we know that Nomac productions is so much more than the Warehouse and workroom we have lost. It is our amazing clients who have trusted us with their visions for over 40 years. It is the endlessly talented and committed staff that have brought Nomac to life, Jenna, Donna and Dawn . It is the community that has supported us and uplifted our business since the very beginning. It is our families, friends, suppliers, supporters and everyone who has donned a Nomac costume to deliver a performance.

Thank you for all the messages of support over the last few days, and throughout the years.
Blánaid and all the staff at Nomac Productions.
