FBD Insurance announces association with 2026 FTMTA Farm Machinery Show
The Farm Tractor & Machinery Trade Association’s (FTMTA) Farm Machinery Show returns to Punchestown Event Centre, where it will run over three days from Tuesday, November 17th to Thursday, November 19th.
At the launch on Monday last in Punchestown, FBD Insurance announced their association with the FTMTA Machinery Show for 2026.
Building off the success of the show’s most recent staging at Punchestown in 2024, show organisers are extremely confident that this year’s event will attract an even larger attendance.
FTMTA Executive Director Michael Farrelly said: “While we were thrilled with the success of the event last hosted in 2024, we have added exciting new features to this year’s show.
“The level of interest from exhibitors was exceptional from the outset, with all available exhibition space booked much earlier than anticipated.”
According to Mr Farrelly: “What sets the FTMTA Farm Machinery show apart and makes it unique is the presence of the machinery manufacturers themselves. It offers manufacturers the opportunity to showcase the latest innovations and technologies, while allowing them to engage directly with the end user.
“The fact that exhibitor space sold out so quickly this year is a clear acknowledgement from the industry that the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show is Ireland’s premier national farm machinery show,” Michael said.
Speaking about FBD Insurance’s decision to come on board and to support the show, Michael expressed his gratitude to FBD Insurance.
“FBD Insurance is a prominent name in Irish agriculture, and we are very proud to have them associated with the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show. Their support demonstrates their commitment to our sector and, on behalf of the Association, I would like to thank them for that."
Michael Berkery, Chair of FBD Trust, said: “The FTMTA Farm Machinery Show showcases the technological innovation and engineering that help to shape the future of Irish farming. Machinery and technology play an increasingly important role in supporting efficiency, productivity and sustainability on farms across the country. FBD Insurance is proud to support this event that highlights the contribution of the agricultural machinery sector to modern farming and rural Ireland.”
The FTMTA Machinery Show runs under a fully indoor heated site at Punchestown where building works have already commenced.
Since 1989, the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show has attracted Irish and international farm machinery specialists by bringing together the largest range of farm machinery to one location together with associated products and service providers.
