An agreement has also been reached with Michael Hanlon for Meath Farm Machinery Ltd to operate from the existing premises of Hanlon Machinery Ltd at Marlbog Road, Haggardstown, Dundalk, Co. Louth.
The two companies underwent a transition to this new structure to provide continuity to all customers for John Deere service, parts, sales and technology support. The transition of the business became effective from November 1, 2023.
Ian Timmons, dealer principal at Meath Farm Machinery Ltd, said: “Our business will continue to operate as normal under my leadership as we grow.
“This is an exciting time for Meath Farm Machinery as we prepare to almost double the size of our business. Expanding into this geography shows our total commitment to the agriculture industry.
“This expansion also consolidates our standing as one of Ireland’s leading machinery dealerships and positions us perfectly to support customers and help them maximise the potential of John Deere’s expansive range of agricultural equipment and suite of precision technologies.
“Our mutual goal with Michael Hanlon is to ensure a seamless transition and continuous support for all customers, both existing and new." The combined dealerships operating from Navan, Cavan and now Dundalk will give greater opportunities for employees and the ability for the business to further invest in its team, facilities and technologies, the company said.
