Fleming Agri Products
Fleming Agri Products is a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, based in Newbuildings, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
The company was founded in Donegal by Robert John Fleming in 1860, and remains a family-controlled company. The current factory was established in 1983.[1]
In 2018 the current chairman George Fleming announced a $4-million expansion, intending to reach new international markets. The company already sells its products in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.[2] At that time George Fleming referred to Brexit as "another hurdle", stating that the company had dealt with a hard border in Ireland until 1992. He has since said that the company might open facilities in Donegal in the event of a no-deal Brexit,[3] as 30% of the company's customers are in the Republic of Ireland.[4]
