Abrey Agricultural Ltd is appointing Frank Jenkinson Limited as its distributor for the Ziegler brand of cultivation equipment for Ireland.

Jenkinsons, established in 1975, is based at Bagenalstown, County Carlow, and works with a range of brands, especially New Holland combines and Bateman sprayers. It also has a thriving second-hand machinery business.

It is already enjoying significant success with Ziegler Harvesting’s range of header trailers, and proprietor Frank Jenkinson believes the company’s cultivation range will prove equally popular:

“We have an excellent working relationship with Ziegler as a manufacturer and Abrey as distributor. The products they make are top quality, as well as being very well designed and built.

“One other important aspect is that that their staff are prepared to listen to us and consider making alterations if we have a customer who needs that”, says Frank.

With the majority of Irish arable farmers now using non-inversion cultivation techniques, he expects there to be significant interest in the company’s DiscMasterPRO disc cultivator, and in the FieldProfi tined machine.

Toby Abrey believes the company can make significant progress in the Irish market: “Ziegler products have already gained an important foothold in the country and are valued by those who use them.

“By teaming up with an established dealer with an excellent reputation like Jenkinsons – with whom we have had an excellent relationship for over a decade already - we believe we are well placed to make progress in the future”.
