About Tama Ireland

The number one choice for Crop Baling Solutions, catering to the unique requirements of our fellow farmers. Rely on us for non-stop performance, high quality materials, and personalised support.

A Century in the Field

With a heritage spanning more than 100 years, our story in agriculture is closely linked to the farming community where it all began. It’s given us a real, hands-on understanding of life in the fields.

Our values

Commitment

We’re in it for the long run.

We always stand beside our partners and overcome any challenge. We are generational, just like our fellow farmers, and we will always go the extra mile (or kilometre) for you.

Integrity

We never cut corners.

The quality of our products and services is always first-class. Our supply chain is stable even during crises, and we’ve got our fellow farmers’ backs all through the process.

Hard Work

Getting our hands dirty.

As farmers, hard work is an integral part of who we are. Our strong work ethic was an essential part of turning a small local workshop into a global Crop Baling manufacturer and solution provider.

Partnership

Doing it together.

We collaborate with major agricultural equipment manufacturers, national agri-associations, and top academic facilities, and work closely with fellow farmers worldwide, advancing harvesting innovation.
