Agquip Ltd.
Agquip Ltd, a new manufacturing firm, has also secured export sales on the back of a new piece of equipment that will benefit farmers. The company was formed last year (2010) by James O’Kane to provide design and build services to the agricultural sector in the UK and Europe. Following an investment in research and development, Agquip designed an innovative slurry application system which dispenses farmyard slurry directly onto grassland without leaving a residue on surrounding leaves or plants. The new slurry machine offers farmers a more affordable and efficient alternative to traditional slurry spreading. The product prototype has been well received by customers with a number of orders already secured in the Republic of Ireland, England and Scotland.
