JH Fitzpatrick celebrates 70 years

Marking a significant moment in Irish agri-business, Kildare-based agri-machinery company, JH Fitzpatrick Ltd recently celebrated 70 years in operation, including 50 years as an international Case IH dealer, and a founding partnership with the Texaco brand.
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon, with founders, Mary and Joe Fitzpatrick, and directors, Donal and Theresa Fitzpatrick.

What began in 1954 with just two Texaco fuel pumps, and a small-repair workshop, has grown into one of Ireland’s most respected names in agricultural machinery and engineering solutions.
To commemorate the milestone, a special celebration was held last month at the company’s premises in Monasterevin. The event featured expert talks, exclusive offers, and a strong turnout from the local farming community and long-standing industry partners.
Among the guest speakers were Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon; Simon Pratt of Case IH; and James Twohig of Valero, the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand. Each offered their congratulations and reflected on the importance of partnership and innovation in supporting Ireland’s agricultural sector.
Commenting, Donal Fitzpatrick, director of JH Fitzpatrick Ltd said: “Celebrating 70 years was not only about reflecting on our journey so far, but also about reaffirming our commitment to the future of farming in Ireland. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on the day and to all our customers who have supported us over the decades.”
Over those decades, JH Fitzpatrick Ltd has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and outstanding customer care. The company says it remains committed to delivering expert engineering solutions and cutting-edge machinery, and continues to evolve with the latest in precision farming technologies and eco-friendly equipment to support Irish farmers into the future.
