Ponsse Delivers 22,000th Machine To Irish Logger
Ponsse has celebrated a significant milestone— as the 22,000th forest machine, a Ponsse Elk forwarder, manufactured at the company’s Vieremä factory has been delivered to Irish customer G&G Timber Harvesting. The Elk was selected for its reliable performance across diverse terrain and the additional comfort provided by the Active Cabin solution.
“This is a significant milestone in our cooperation with G&G Timber Harvesting. Along with the Ponsse Elk, a Ponsse Scorpion Giant harvester, which is one of our flagship models is also being delivered in the same shipment to complement their fleet. We thank the G&G Timber Harvesting team for their trust and wish them safe operations in Ireland’s forests,” says Ville Mansikkamäki, Vice President, Europe, Ponsse.
G&G Timber Harvesting, established in 2009 by brothers Greg and Garrett Cuddy in Camross, County Laois, operates at the foot of the Slieve Bloom mountains. The company has since grown to include another brother, David, Greg’s son Greg Jr, and their cousin Pakie. With six of the seven Cuddy brothers working in forestry, the business represents a strong multigenerational commitment to the industry.
