Monasterevin farm machinery business celebrates 70 years

J.H. Fitzpatrick in Monasterevin has celebrated 70 years in operation with a special celebration.

This includes 50 years as an international CASE dealer and a founding partnership with the Texaco brand.

What began in 1954 with just two Texaco fuel pumps and a small repair workshop has grown into one of Ireland’s most respected names in agricultural machinery and engineering.

The event featured expert talks, exclusive offers, and a strong turnout from the local farming community and long-standing industry partners.

Among the guest speakers were Minister Martin Heydon, Simon Pratt of CASE, and James Twohig of Valero - the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand - who each offered their congratulations and reflected on the importance of partnership and innovation in supporting Ireland’s agricultural sector.

“Celebrating 70 years was not only about reflecting on our journey so far, but also about reaffirming our commitment to the future of farming in Ireland,” said Donal Fitzpatrick, director of J.H. Fitzpatrick Ltd.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on the day and to all our customers who have supported us over the decades.”

Over the decades Fitzpatrick’s has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and outstanding customer care.

The firm has grown into one of Ireland’s leading providers of agricultural machinery and engineering services.
