Partner spotlight: Glendun Plant Sales

After recently celebrating their 10^th anniversary in business, Glendun Plant Sales are entering their second decade well equipped with quality solutions for construction, access and lighting – with a boosted portfolio for professional arborists following their appointment as FSI Partners for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Först and FSI makes for a formidable arb offering

Glendun Plant was founded in June 2014 where, as a distributor for Wacker Neuson construction equipment, they built a comprehensive clientele in the utilities, civil engineering, building and rental markets. The years that followed saw the expansion of their portfolio to include lighting towers and access machinery before reaching an agreement with Först woodchippers three years ago.

Keen to add to their arboricultural offering, Glendun Plant Sales Engineer Marcus Nelson says FSI was “definitely the right product!”

“We found that, increasingly, we were getting enquiries from our woodchipper customers for a quality stump grinder” he explains.

We were aware of FSI, we’d seen it at various trade events and knew it was the market-leader.

Their large range of stump grinders including pedestrian, tracked and PTO models mean we can offer our customers a complete package for whole tree removal which is a common request - especially in council work.”

Quality at the forefront of the FSI ethos

From the very first contact they had with UK Sales Director Lee Hatton, Marcus says they were impressed with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the product, the brand and the wider market. “We were quickly able to agree distribution for Ireland, ordered stock and hit the ground running.”

“Our customers can see that quality is at the forefront of the FSI ethos – the durable paintwork, quality components, reliable engine choice and heavy-duty cutter head make the machines popular with everybody who tries them.” He continues, “Operators also comment on their user-friendliness and the versatility of the remote-controlled tracked machines which increase productivity and safety, while reducing fatigue.”

“With machines already delivered to arborists and rental companies – all with fantastic feedback – we’re excited to build on the momentum and awareness of FSI across Ireland.”
