Atkins of Cork has announced it is to open a depot in Birr Co Offaly. The company currently has depots in Cork city, Fermoy and Bandon.

The new depot will supply and service a full portfolio of Fendt products. It aims to give new and existing customers the service that they expect with Fendt products.

The new premises will be opening shortly after the Ploughing next month, although service will be available to existing Fendt owners with immediate effect and any of the existing depots can be contacted with respect of this.

On the same site as the Fendt dealership, Atkins also plans to move the wholesale end of its Bogballe and Bredal fertiliser spreader business to the midlands.

Machines will arrive into the country to this depot and pre-delivery inspection will take place before delivery to their existing dealer network.

The dealer network will not be affected by the move from Cork.
