Ireland Dealer Announced
Manitou UK has appointed Abbey Retail to its expanding dealer network. This partnership will see Abbey Retail represent Manitou across Clare & Galway (Agricultural range only) and Tipperary & West Kilkenny (Construction, Agricultural, Compact Equipment, and Industrial ranges), further strengthening Manitou’s footprint in Ireland and enhancing customer access to its handling solutions.
A Trusted Irish Manufacturer Since 1947
Abbey Retail, a division of Abbey Machinery, is a dealership serving Co. Tipperary and the surrounding counties.
Backed by the heritage and expertise of Abbey Machinery, an Irish agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1947 by the Cavanagh family, Abbey Retail has built a strong reputation for reliability, service, and product range.
Over the years, Abbey Retail has established a large and loyal customer base across the farming and contracting sectors, while also attracting wider audiences through its extensive hardware offering.
From plough metal, tools, filters, oils, and merchandise, to a comprehensive stock of parts and accessories, Abbey Retail has become a trusted one-stop shop for agricultural and construction customers alike.
In addition to offering the full range of Abbey Machinery products, Abbey Retail is an authorised dealer for many of farming’s most recognisable brands, including Massey Ferguson, Kverneland, Rauch, Quicke, Prodig, and McConnel.
These partnerships, combined with a strong aftersales service, have helped position Abbey Retail as one of the leading dealerships in the region.
Peter Smyth, Sales Director at Manitou UK, welcomed the partnership: “We are delighted to partner with Abbey Retail. Their long-standing reputation for premium offerings, commitment to innovation, and strong customer relationships make them an excellent fit for Manitou. With Abbey’s reach across Clare, Galway, Tipperary and West Kilkenny, we are confident that this partnership will provide real value to customers in the region.”
Sean Kinane, Retail Manager at Abbey Retail, added: “Abbey Retail are proud to have been awarded the Manitou franchise for Tipperary, Kilkenny, Clare, and Galway. The Manitou range for both construction and agriculture is extensive, and we’re excited to offer and support everything from forklifts to the impressive MRT, Manitou’s rotating telehandler range.
“We’ll be stocking the full Manitou lineup at both our Nenagh and Ballyclerihan depots. We look forward to connecting with existing Manitou customers as well as building new relationships. To ensure the highest level of service, we’ve expanded our team and invested in additional parts, technical resources, and demonstration machines — all to meet and exceed the expectations of Manitou customers.”
