Moore Uni-drill Company Profile

Moore Uni-Drill is a family owned specialised manufacturer of Agricultural and Sportsturf seeding equipment. Established in 1973, it began by manufacturing direct drills for the grassland market. In the late 70's early 80's a drill specifically designed for the arable sector was developed and in the mid 80's the specialist sports turf model was introduced.

The company operates from Kirk Road, Ballymoney, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland - 15kms from the legendary Giants Causeway on the beautiful Antrim coast. The surrounding countryside hosts some of the most intensive dairy farming in all of Europe. This is grass growing country, with a unique high rainfall and mild climate, which suits the intensive grassland production which helped launch the original uni-drills.

Subsequent development of the original grassland drills into the arable market and, more recently, the sports field market have secured the companies' future. The company concentrates on the assembly of frame and coulter units. We use local sub-contractors to supply the majority of our components and this gives us access to the latest benefits that plasma/laser profiling and CNC and powder finishing.

Research and development is carried out in house, using 3D CAD technologies. New developments are field tested locally, then endurance overseas.

At present we manufacture 3 different types of Uni-drill in 6 different working widths from 1.2 m up to 8 m. We currently export 60% of our production.

The company's policy of on-going improvement, means that although the basic design principle of the original uni-drill remains the same, the quality and functionality have never been better.
