Brothers in business


BVS Parts was established in early 2014 by two Athy brothers, Declan and Alan Maher, working from a 400sqft shed beside their house. Working predominantly mending hydraulics hoses and components they quickly established themselves as an agri-parts store supplying the local community with filters, oils and grease. They expanded to supply machinery parts for tractors, ploughs, tillers, seeders, cultivators, diggers and track machinery. They quickly realised they were running out of space after the first year, so they moved into a larger premises by January 2016.

 

The determined duo began to set their sights on international markets. They met a variety of distributors and manufacturers over the next 12 months and tested out ideas in the local market. In late 2017, the stars aligned and BVS Parts met Kramp who were serendipitously looking for a distributor in Ireland. Kramp are still a family orientated company and they constantly seek they can help the local retailer expand their business with Kramp’s range of original and private label products.
