ABOUT US COMPANY BACKGROUND McHale Plant Sales Limited was established in 1952, founded by Michael McHale Snr., father of our chairman, Michael. Over quarter of a century ago, the nature and character of our company was transformed when we were appointed distributors in Ireland for the Komatsu range of construction equipment. Today, the company has a respected presence within the construction equipment sector in Ireland, having deep and long-established connections to all of the main contractors and plant users. Welcome to our website. We thank you for visiting and we trust you will find our story interesting. We invite you to pause and read about our products and our work with Komatsu and the various other distinguished manufacturers whose equipment we have the pleasure to represent. Especially, we hope that your visit will tell you more about McHale Plant Sales, the people we are, and the sectors of commercial life in which we have our strength. Being here to serve our manufacturers in every way we can, we look forward to receiving any enquiries you might have, and to welcoming any suggestions or requests you might make. Enjoy our story. GENERAL NEWS RECRUITMENT HISTORY DEPOTS NEWSLETTERS Due in large measure to our work with Komatsu, McHale Plant Sales has acquired a strong profile amongst contractors and others working in building and construction, civil works and engineering. Proud to represent an enviable cross-section of the world’s leading machinery manufacturers, the products we represent today give us a strong presence across a wide and diverse field of activity. As profiled on other pages, our brief has expanded beyond the confines of construction and infrastructural development into utilities and services; quarrying and aggregates production; environmental management and waste recycling; forestry and timber harvesting; and the closely allied fields of farming and agricultural contracting. Headquartered in the mid-west village of Birdhill, near Limerick, and on the east coast at Rathcoole, close to Dublin, McHale Plant Sales has a footprint that extends across the entire island of Ireland, north and south. Supported by our own mobile teams of technicians and service specialists, those who deal with us are seldom more than a short time away from help when backup is required. But it isn’t just in structures that our strengths are seen. Imbued with a strong customer service culture, it is in our people that the true nature and personality of McHale Plant Sales is found. Owner-managed by Michael McHale Jnr., Tim Shanahan and John O’Brien, their stewardship and strong customer-focused spirit have been to the fore in helping the company build a strong position in the sector. Ours is a spirit built on a love for what we do. We know our business – we’ve grown up in it. We relish the work involved and we identify with it in all its many aspects. We fully understand what it is our customers and suppliers expect of us, and we delight in working with them and being part of their success. Happiest when being close – out visiting the worksite or in the field representing our suppliers and serving the needs of our customers in the many ways we can – these are the characteristics we strive to uphold, the qualities that make us who we are! For all of us at McHale Plant Sales, that extra mile is no distance whatsoever. We travel it every day, and in every way!
