Kverneland 30-year celebration continues

Kverneland Group Ireland continues the celebrations this month as it marks its 30-year trading partnership with multi-award-winning company, McConnel.

Visitors to the National Ploughing Championships (the Ploughing) later this month can help the company commemorate this very significant milestone, which includes its evolution from distributor to a joint-venture enterprise and, ultimately, a division of the Kubota Corporation, until Kverneland Group Ireland was officially incorporated in 1993.
In that time, it has enjoyed a strong partnership with McConnel, which manufactures a comprehensive range of Power Arms, rotary and flail mowers and cultivation machinery. Kverneland Group Ireland is the official distributor for McConnel products in Ireland. In marking the milestone, Kverneland Group Ireland and McConnel unveiled a unique special-edition livery at the Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) Machinery Show earlier this year. There, the distributor also introduced the latest McConnel 67-Series Power Arm to the Irish market. And throughout 2023, all McConnel Power Arms sold by Kverneland Group Ireland will be delivered with this special-edition livery ‘symbolising this enduring partnership’ according to Kverneland Group Ireland.
“The McConnel brand holds great significance for Kverneland Ireland, and the strong relationship developed over the past 30 years is highly valued by both parties,” commented Philip English, managing director of Kverneland Group Ireland. He said McConnel’s ‘ongoing investment has resulted in the continuous introduction of new products and enhanced technology’. “This allows us to deliver market-leading Power Arms to our customers through our Kverneland dealer network,” he added.
Christian Davies, managing director, McConnel said: “I take great pride in our 30-year partnership with Kverneland Group Ireland. It is a testament to our unwavering support and commitment. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, consistently delivering innovative solutions and unparalleled service to our valued customers. Our partnership is stronger than ever, and I look forward to continuing this journey of success for many more years to come.” Be sure to stop by the Kverneland Ireland Group stand to learn more.
