In the Irish market, products within the McHale Plant Sales portfolio include those manufactured by Metso-owned Jonsson Crushers whose range consists of tracked jaw units, tracked cone units, wheeled cone crusher units and an electric-powered tracked double crusher. 

Swedish-made, Jonsson Crushers are manufactured to meet the needs of those whose requirement is for a tracked machine that can be 'bespoke' made and specified to operate in a large quarry scenario such as those within the chain of concrete products and aggregates producer Kilsaran.

Comparable in significance to their recently reported sales to Mayo-based civil works contractor Wills Brothers and CRH member company Roadstone, Metso distributor McHale Plant Sales reports upon what they term 'another significant investment' by Kilsaran, reflected in their acquisition of three Jonsson crushers – two L130 model jaw crushers and one L550 model cone crusher.

Robust, with a production capacity of up to 750 tonnes per hour, the three units were acquired for operation at Kilsaran's Gallstown and Ballinascorney quarries in Meath and Dublin and were added to some existing units already owned by Kilsaran.

Now part of the Metso family – whose crushers McHale Plant Sales has distributed in Ireland since 2015 and in the UK since April 2023 – Jonsson Crushers describes itself as 'one of the market's largest manufacturers of mobile products in stone crushing' whose equipment was welcomed by McHale on appointment as 'bespoke' units that will 'add immeasurably' to its position within the aggregates and crushing markets.
