Dundalk-based and Enterprise Ireland-backed manufacturing company Multihog has signed a €1.5m deal in the United States.

Multihog, which is based in a new 89,000sq ft six-acre facility, manufactures a range of tractors that allow for easy addition and removal of attachments to perform various maintenance functions all year round.

Network

It sells its product through a global network of 55 dealers who serve municipalities, airports and facilities management companies. The bulk of this new business is from machine orders through three new dealers, two in the US Midwest and one in Canada.

Multihog Ltd managing director Jim McAdam said: “We are delighted to announce this significant deal, and also to bring this group of dealers to Ireland to see our new manufacturing facility.

“Luckily, we have a superb group of dealers in the US and Canada and we’re really excited to add three excellent new partners to our network. Our expansion plans for North America are ambitious, and we’re very confident that we can achieve these in collaboration with the dealers we have in place.”
