Bednar is still a relatively new player in the Irish market, with its official Irish launch at the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show in November 2024. Since then, the brand has hit the ground running with the appointment of five other dealers, namely Farmworks Machinery (Dublin), Alan Douglas Farm Machinery (Kildare), Murphys Motors (Kilkenny), Kearney Bros (Cork) and Mc&S Agrisales (Cork).
