Who We Are
Founded in 1985 by Sean Nugent, Nugent Trailers has grown from a small family-run business into a leading manufacturer of high-quality trailers, known for strength, durability, and precision engineering. With deep agricultural roots, Sean initially designed and manufactured robust cattle handling equipment, supplying local farmers and distributors across Ireland.
Our Story
How We Work
The 1990s saw the next generation join the business, as Sean’s sons, Shane, and Damien, helped develop the first Nugent Livestock Trailer—marking the beginning of a diverse and innovative trailer range. As demand grew, Nugent expanded into commercial trailer markets and export sectors, setting its reputation in the trailer market.
In 2017, a state-of-the-art trailer assembly facility transformed production, introducing three fully operational production lines. Further expansion followed in 2019, with a modern office development and advanced laser-cutting facilities, enhancing efficiency and precision.
