Barlo Engineering trading as Clonmel Engineering Works was started by Matt Barlow in 1944 (father of Sean Barlow). The original premises was in Emmet Street, Clonmel which is where Superquinn Shopping Centre is now located.



The company's first major achievement came in 1948 when we were appointed Main Distributors for David Brown tractors and Claas combine harvesters. This contract meant we were the sole distributors for counties Tipperary, Kilkenny and Waterford for David Brown and Class.



Business kept going from strength to strength during the 1960's and 1970's, and in 1978, the newly named Barlo Farm Machinery moved it's Clonmel premises to a brand new facility which was opened by Mr Jim Gibbons, the then Minister for Agriculture.



Barlo Farm Machinery served the farming community with great pride from it's 5 branches, namely Clonmel, Kilkenny, Thurles, Tipperary Town and Dungarvan right up to the early 2000's. A new generation of the Barlow family were coming through, and in 1989, Barlo Motors was appointed as Main Ford dealer for South Tipperary. The 'Barlo' name meant a lot to people and it was seen as a great move forward for the area to have Barlo Motors selling Ford cars and commercials. Sadness came in 2002 when Dealer Principal Ray Barlow passed away after a short illness. The company re-grouped and Alan and Ivan Barlow came to the helm and this is still how things are today.



The Barlo motto from the start was ' Treat Your Customer As You Would Like To Be Treated Yourself 'and this has worked well as we still deal with many grandchildren of original customer's back in the 1940's.

I recently bought a Ford Capri from Barlo Motors in Clonmel. I have to say that the whole process from my initial inquiry to actually driving out the gate in my new car was so stressless and positive. Thanks to Fergal for his very prompt communication and for giving me a very fair price for my trade in. I have dealt with a few garages in my time but Barlo Motors really stood out as being so personable and genuine. A real pleasure to deal with.

Barlo are very easy and professional  to deal with. Very competitive. This is our third car through them. Fergal  thanks, for your effort and helping with our  purchase, and for answering the phone every ⏲️ time. Talked us through driving, an automatic for the first time. Consider them, no matter what part of the country you're from.

Got a Ford Focus, I was dealing with Mark! Was an absolute gent and a solid professional. Never got a car from a dealership before but he made it easy and straightforward for me! Will be going back again!

I recently bought my ford puma from Marc and the whole process was plain sailing from start to finish. Can’t recommend him highly enough. The car was immaculate inside and out and Marc himself was a pleasure to deal with.

Picked up my new Ford Kuga Sport from Fergal yesterday. He made the process so easy from start to finish and is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
