Family History

The Robinsons' family history in the general area of timber and forestry goes back many years to cutting and stacking timber during the summer holidays from school. Alan Robinson became professionally involved in the timber industry in 1980 through the maintenance and repair of forest machinery and haulage equipment.

Ross, Alan's son caught the forestry bug at a very young age and found himself working in the forestry machinery market soon after he finished school. In 2002 Ross and his brother set up their own company, Robinson Distribution Ltd.  This company was established to supply an efficient repair and maintenance service for timber harvesting and log handling equipment and has thrived ever since.

In 2006 Portnahinch Products Ltd was established to supply machinery for the firewood market and private forestry sector. The company acquired agencies for long established quality brands along the way - Uniforest and Duun and more recently Tajfun-liv and Ventura and is growing from strength to strength. 

In 2009 Portnahinch Products saw a gap in the market for net bags, both Leno Net and Mono Filament for packaging firewood and kindling. The company embraced this new idea and began importing and distributing both types of bags in high volumes to the Irish and UK market. 

In 2018 Portnahinch Products proudly launched their own brand of forestry machinery - EHS. This too has been a huge success.
