Thursday 9th October was a landmark event in Hillsborough, County Down as the date of the official opening of Terberg MPM Ireland’s impressive new headquarters, situated on a prime location of the main Dublin to Belfast M1 motorway.
The opening ceremony was attended by MPM employees, customers, the Extended Board of Directors and members of the Terberg family.
This significant investment in constructing a new Sales & Service Centre supports the company’s continued growth in Ireland.
The custom built facility, which took 13 months to complete, spans 1,615 sq.m, comprising a 545 sq.m workshop, a 270 sq.m parts store, and 800 sq.m of office space to further enhance service capabilities.
“Having already acquired the land, we were in a good position to develop a purpose-built, future-proofed facility that’s equipped with a wide range of services, including dedicated training rooms, and an indoor wash bay area, a repairs and refurbishment section, all fitting in with Terberg Special Vehicles global policy, “ explained Mark McCluskey, Managing Director at Terberg MPM.
He added that sustainability is to the fore as features such as Electric Vehicles charging points, solar panels, high grade insulation and a heat recovery system.
Currently 30 staff are employed there, with adequate space for more.
Mark, who established MPM with his wife Joanne fifteen years ago, selling all types of machinery and equipment, has a long history in the transport trade, as his dad and forefathers were all involved in haulage. As trading at MPM progressed, Mark was appointed distributor for Terberg, the fourth generation family owned Dutch company that specialises in building trucks and fitting specialist equipment that operate terminals at ports, airports and logistic centres.
Then in 2021, the Terberg Group acquired the MPM business and plans to further invest in the company were decided upon then.
In praising Mark and Joanne for their dedication and commitment in advancing the Terberg brand in Ireland, Godfried Terberg, CEO of Royal Terberg Group, said: “Ireland represents a strategic opportunity for Terberg. With this new facility, we are strengthening our ability to support customers across the island with sustainable, high-performance solutions. It’s a proud moment for our Group and we strongly value the dedication of the Terberg MPM team.”
