Austrians take over Clonmel agri firm

The T Traynor & Sons Ltd machinery dealership in Clonmel, Co Tipperary has been bought out by the Pöttinger machinery company of Austria.

It has been Pöttinger’s Irish business partner since 1987.

The specialist manufacturer of agricultural machinery took over almost a third of the importer in 1997, and the Traynors have now decided to sell the rest of the business to Pöttinger.
