Case IH launches new Tier 3 Puma Tractor at Fieldays
Case IH is expanding its popular Puma range in New Zealand, with a new model that was released at Fieldays.
While a leading New Zealand brand seems to have a stranglehold on the local electric fencing market, a company from the Green Isle seems to be making significant inroads, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Hailing from County Clare in Ireland, Forcefield began as a manufacturer of mains and battery energisers in the 1980s. Since then, they have expanded their range of electric fence systems to include a variety of electric fence testers, solar energisers and a broad range of accessories.
With a head office in Ireland, Forcefield manufacturers most of their products in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, following the acquisition of Zapper Labs in 2017. They have expanded this state-of-the-art factory to facilitate orders for their electric fencing systems from all over the world.
As well as manufacturing their own branded units, the company also manufacture under private label for many of the leading electric fencing brands in Europe & North America.
Forcefield added a further strand to their business in 2023 with the acquisition of Irish company, Boundary Blade; a start-up company that had developed a very clever but simple fence tester which doubles as a pocket-knife, winning many innovation awards.
Forcefield will be showcasing its range of electric fencing energisers and accessories on the Enterprise Ireland stand at Site D67-73.
