IFA Announces Euronit and ODS O’Dwyer Steel as Official Building Partners for the 2025 National Ploughing Championships

The IFA is proud to announce Euronit and ODS O’Dwyer Steel as the official building partners for the 2025 National Ploughing Championships, taking place next month in Screggan, Tullamore, Co. Offaly.

Euronit, formerly known as Tegral, has been a trusted name in Irish agriculture for nearly 90 years and returns for its 18th year as a key partner with IFA. The long-standing collaboration reflects Euronit’s enduring commitment to Irish farmers and the agricultural sector.

Joining as a building partner for the first time in 2025, ODS O’Dwyer Steel brings a wealth of experience and expertise. ODS is the leading supplier of fabricated steel and cladding to the agricultural sector in Ireland. Their work covers projects for essential infrastructure such as farm buildings, modern structures for animal husbandry and equestrian facilities.

Both Euronit and ODS O’Dwyer Steel are excited to showcase their latest innovations and connect directly with the farming community at this year’s Ploughing Championships.

Speaking at the partnership launch, James Kelly, IFA Director of Organisation, said: “We are delighted to continue our valued partnership with Euronit, whose support has been instrumental for over a decade. We are also pleased to welcome ODS O’Dwyer Steel as a new partner for 2025. Their strong industry reputation and early enthusiasm for this collaboration make them a great addition to the event.”

Speaking on behalf of ODS O’Dwyer Steel, Managing Director Richard Walsh said, “We’re proud to partner with the IFA and take part in an event as important as the National Ploughing Championships.”

“For over 75 years agriculture has been central to our business, and this partnership is a great opportunity to engage directly with the farming community, showcase our expertise, and support the sector that has supported us,” he added.

Commenting on the partnership, Etex Ireland Country Manager, John Bradley, said, “We’re delighted to renew our partnership as an official building partner of the IFA for an eighteenth year. To do so this year alongside our much valued and long-standing customer, O’Dwyer Steel, is equally pleasing.”

“The National Ploughing Championships is a week in the calendar that we look forward to each year. Our building partner status represents an important industry affiliation but also an opportunity for us and ODS to showcase our products and, crucially, deliver an impressive stand for the IFA and its members,” he said.

IFA looks forward to working closely with both partners to deliver a great space for IFA members to visit.
