end of year blog

As 2025 draws to a close, we’d like to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued trust and support throughout the year. Your partnership has been invaluable to us, and we truly appreciate the confidence you place in our products and services.

It’s been a year of progress and growth here at FJS, and we’re proud to share some of the milestones we’ve reached together. Thank you for being a part of our journey we couldn’t have done it without you.

Osberstown Naas Head Office:

We are delighted to reflect on how far we have come in 2025 as our new head office, showroom and workshop in Osberstown Business Park, Naas, W91 N6DX moved from a construction project to a fully operating depot at the heart of our business. The building has quickly become a central hub for Sales, Service and Parts, allowing us to support more customers and showcase a broader range of machinery than ever before.​

This year also saw the whole FJS team come together in the Naas depot for a Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Men Against Cancer, followed by a team lunch to celebrate everyone’s efforts and mark an important milestone in our journey. Bringing the full team under one roof highlighted the scale of our growth and the strength of the people behind the FJS name.​

Looking ahead, we hope to further develop the Naas depot for our customers with continued investment in facilities, stock and support services. We are planning an open day in early 2026 to welcome customers and the wider community into the depot, strengthen relationships and share what this new site can offer for your machinery needs.

 

Shows and Events:

2025 has been another exciting and action-packed year for FJS Plant, filled with shows, events, and opportunities to connect with customers across Ireland and beyond. These events continue to play a key role in how we share our latest products, showcase machine upgrades, and gain first-hand insight into the needs of our customers and industries we serve.

This year, two standout events were the ICE Expo 2025 and the National Ploughing Championships, where our team proudly displayed some of the newest additions to the FJS machinery line-up. Both shows offered fantastic opportunities to meet with customers face-to-face, demonstrate machine capabilities in action, and discuss the latest advancements in construction and agricultural machinery.

 

Alongside these events, our team attended a number of well-established regional shows and exhibitions throughout the year, including:

– Cavan SFM Show

– Mullingar Agricultural Show

– Tullamore Show

– Tullow Show

– Ossory Show

– FTMTA Farm Machinery Show

We also joined Kubota at several prestigious events across the UK and Europe, gaining valuable insights into market trends and innovations shaping the future of the industry.

2025 has truly underscored the importance of connecting with our customers in person, this is something we look forward to continuing and expanding in 2026.

 

New Products Added in 2025:

2025 saw new additions right across our brand portfolio, with a range of exciting new products introduced across all our existing brands in the FJS fleet, including:

Kubota ZE-481 Electric Mower

The ZE-481 is Kubota’s fully electric out-front mower, delivering high productivity and a premium finish with zero engine emissions. Its powerful electric drive system provides consistent performance while keeping noise and vibration levels to a minimum, making it ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas. With its generous battery capacity and efficient cutting deck, the ZE-481 is designed to cover large areas on a single charge while reducing running and maintenance costs.

Merlo P120.10 HM Telehandler

From our newest brand Merlo, we have greatly expanded our fleet in 2025 with the addition of the P120.10 HM heavy-duty telehandler. The P120.10 HM is designed as a high-capacity handler, with a maximum lift capacity of approximately 12 tonnes and a lift height in the region of 9–10 m, depending on configuration. This allows it to handle heavy blocks, large pallets, structural steel and bulk materials with ease on demanding sites.

Kubota KTH4815-2 Telehandler

The Kubota KTH4815-2 has been a welcome new addition to the FJS fleet for 2025, further strengthening our material handling offering for customers. Compact, powerful and highly manoeuvrable, it fits perfectly alongside our existing machinery range, giving farms, contractors and yards a versatile option for lifting, loading and day-to-day handling work.

LiuGong 385B Skid Steer

The LiuGong 385B is a compact, high‑performance skid steer designed for tough loading and site work. It typically offers a rated operating capacity in the mid‑range for this class (around 900–1,000 kg) with strong breakout forces and responsive hydraulics, making it well suited to bucket work, pallet handling and grading.

Merlo TF33.7 Turbofarmer

FJS have further expanded the Merlo fleet in 2025 with the addition of the TF33.7 Turbofarmer. This compact yet powerful agricultural telehandler is designed to handle day-to-day farm work with ease, offering an ideal balance of lift capacity, reach and manoeuvrability for modern farming operations.

EvoQuip Award:

2025 has been a year of tremendous growth and achievement for FJS Plant. We were honoured to be presented with the Regional Dealer of the Year (Europe) award at the EvoQuip Dealer Awards, a recognition that reflects the dedication of our team and the trust our customers place in us.

Following strong momentum in 2024, we continued to see significant growth in EvoQuip crusher and screening solution sales this year. Michael had an exceptional year, helping customers identify the right equipment and providing expert guidance tailored to their individual applications.

We’re incredibly proud of these achievements and grateful to our customers for choosing FJS as their trusted partner. Here’s to continuing this momentum into 2026!

Used Machinery:

In 2025 we experienced a year of strong growth across the business. Our salesman Sean stepped into this position with over two years’ experience as our Sales Admin in the office, and since then we’ve seen a significant increase in used machinery sales and a whole new customer base.​

Our used machinery portfolio doesn’t only include Kubota products; we regularly take in a wide selection of other brands across the Plant, Agri, and Groundcare sectors. Our DoneDeal showroom and the used machinery page on our new website are updated frequently with the latest stock available, so make sure to check them out.

LiuGong 10 Year Partnership Award

Another big highlight was our salesman Sean attending the LiuGong Global Dealer Conference in China, where FJS was proudly presented with a 10 Year Partnership award. This milestone recognises a decade of collaboration, growth and shared success between LiuGong and FJS Plant, and it came in the same year that Sean further expanded our dedicated second-hand machinery page.

Sponsorships:

2025 was another busy and exciting year of Sponsorships for FJS.

We continued as main sponsor of St Kevin’s GAA, backing every team from underage right up to senior. A real standout moment for us was seeing the St Kevin’s U16 boys bring home the championship title. To see a young group like that put in the work all year and finish as champions is exactly the kind of success we’re proud to stand behind.

Our support of motorsport continued to grow as well. We were delighted to keep backing riders such as Lauren Judge throughout her season. 2025 also saw young talent Alex Conlon join the FJS Sponsorships, and he has already had a strong motocross season under our banner. If you don’t already, make sure to give them a follow and keep up with their progress in 2026.

What to look forward to in 2026:

We would like to thank you for your support throughout 2025 and outline some of our key goals for 2026 as we continue to grow.

In 2026, we will continue to expand our full machinery line-up and supporting brands, ensuring an even broader choice of solutions for construction, agriculture and groundcare.​

Building our community

We aim to host an open day at our Naas facility, giving customers the chance to see our machinery, meet the team and explore our state-of-the-art depot in person. Attending more shows and events nationwide will be a key part of how we connect with current and new customers and grow our community.​

Service and Depots

With all our depots now in motion in Timahoe, Naas and Kilkenny, we are focused on enhancing aftersales support, parts availability and field service coverage even further in 2026.
