The appointment as BOMAG’s partner for all their range; tampers & compaction plates, asphalt & light tandem rollers, single drum & pneumatic tyred rollers, pavers, milling and stabilising machines, further strengthens Whelan Plant Sales’ offering, enabling customers across Ireland to access a comprehensive range of world-class machines and equipment along with full aftercare.
Adding further strength to the new partnership, Kevin Bannon has joined Whelan Plant Sales, bringing with him extensive experience, in-depth knowledge, and a strong customer base within the BOMAG equipment sector.
