Kubota (UK) has announced the appointment of FJS Plant Repairs as the first Kubota full-line dealer in the Republic of Ireland with effect from November 1, 2021.
As a natural expansion of its existing Kubota construction dealership, FJS, which is based at Timahoe, County Kildare, will now be responsible for Kubota tractors and groundscare equipment as well. And as part of its growth, FJS will forge ahead with plans to open a second depot on a one-acre site at Naas, to include a new showroom, extensive workshop facilities and additional staff.
“This appointment reinforces Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the market, while supporting FJS with the opportunity to continue to grow its business,” the general manager of Kubota (UK)’s tractor business unit, Henry Bredin, said. “This partnership will also help Kubota to further strengthen its position in these important market sectors, by serving a wider cross-section of customers from one business.”
A market leader in the sales, service and supply of mobile plant and demolition equipment in Ireland, FJS was established in 1993. With its highly skilled and manufacturer-trained staff providing the highest levels of customer care across its sales, service and repair divisions, the business is looking forward to expanding its operation with the addition of Kubota’s tractors and groundscare product ranges.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have been appointed as a full-line dealer for Kubota,” the managing director of FJS, Frank Smyth, said. “We believe that Kubota has tremendous potential for market growth in this area, and this move provides us with a range of tractors up to 170hp, groundscare equipment and RTVs to sell to our growing customer base.
“The integration of Kubota tractors and groundscare products into our existing business is great news, both for new and existing FJS customers. And our long-term strategy, as a full-line Kubota dealer, also includes opening a third depot.”
