DA Forgie and Vogelsang Ireland have announced a new partnership with a shared focus on delivering slurry management technology to farmers across Northern Ireland.

Through the partnership, Vogelsang products will now be supplied via DA Forgie’s two depots in Lisburn and Limavady.

Established over 50 years ago, DA Forgie is a family-owned business which provides sales, parts, and service coverage across the region.

Since 2013, Vogelsang Ireland said it has been delivering precision slurry solutions across the island, combining German engineering with equipment built for tough Irish conditions.

Its headquarters is based in Galway with a full service and parts facility in Dublin.

The partnership combines DA Forgie’s local presence and agricultural expertise with Vogelsang’s slurry technology.

With increasing pressure to improve nutrient efficiency and meet environmental standards, this partnership aims to help farmers manage slurry more efficiently and effectively.

Vogelsang’s range of equipment covers key stages of slurry management, from Vogelsang’s XSplit separator to precision dribble bars and trailing shoes, available from 6m up to 36m.

The full line-up is designed to make slurry spreading easier, more efficient and sustainable.

Managing director of Vogelsang Ireland, Mark Hughes highlighted the importance of this local presence: “We’re looking forward to expanding our dealer network with a reputable and well-established partner like DA Forgie.

“This partnership allows us to bring our slurry solutions closer to the ground, giving customers easier access to the right technology and after-sales support.”

Sales manager for DA Forgie, Mark Lennox said that the addition of Vogelsang systems meets a growing demand for high-spec technical solutions: “Our customers are constantly looking for ways to maximise the value of their organic fertilisers while meeting strict environmental standards.

“Vogelsang’s precision distribution and heavy duty slurry products are second to none, and having these machines in stock allows us to provide the immediate solutions required for the upcoming season.”

The partnership aims to ensures comprehensive technical support across the area.

Agricultural technical consultant at Vogelsang Ireland, David Whelehan added: “DA Forgie has a long standing tradition in the agricultural industry and with their two depots in Lisburn and Limavady allow them to provide excellent coverage across Antrim, Derry, Donegal and the surrounding regions.

Adding the Vogelsang range – from slurry separation to advanced applicator technology – strengthens their offering and gives farmers and contractors across these areas access to proven solutions that improve efficiency and make better use of nutrients.”
