Quinns of Baltinglass Case Study

Quinns has been a byword for innovation in the agricultural economy for almost a century, helping farmers with a range of agricultural activities. As its motto suggests, it supplies “everything for the farmer” – from fertilizer, feed and fuels to hardware, building materials, sprays and chemicals. It is one of the largest grain buyers in Ireland – its central grain processing facility in Lewistown, Co Kildare processes over 100,000 tonnes of grain annually while its feed mill produces over 95,000 tonnes of animal feed every year.  The organisation is headquartered in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, where it has its flagship store, and it operates a branch network that spreads out to six agri-stores – including Naas, Avoca and Milford – across four counties. Its large customer base of farmers generates a lot of communication and invoicing.
