Working with some of the world’s biggest food companies, our daily scheduled collections from all over Ireland offer our customers a cost-effective, market-focused logistics service.5
O’Toole Transport’s status as Ireland’s premier food logistics company can be traced back to the 1940’s. John Patrick O’Toole purchased a Commer lorry in a bid to establish a local agricultural delivery business.
Based in Moycullen, this early foray into small-scale Connemara logistics proved massively successful and the company expanded into general haulage serving the area until John Pake’s untimely death in 1963 at the young age of 56.
In 1996, the O’Toole family came together and set up O’Toole Transport Ltd as a family run business. With only a handful of prospective customers and fully committed family members, O’Toole Transport set out on a path that would lead not only to full family employment but to a total full-time staff of 220 employees.
The first vehicle, a Scania 93M230, was pivotal in helping O’Toole Transport become a reliable carrier. In early 2000, O’Toole Transport became heavily involved in transport for the food industry, developing a network of industry contacts even further and expanding the fleet to its current size of over 190 trucks and 200 trailers.
Now, 25 years and hundreds of customers later, building on a track record of innovation and vision, O’Toole Transport is fuelled by the pioneering spirit that inspired its founders to continually transform the Irish transport industry.
This marks the second time the family-owned company has received this ultimate accolade, having previously been honoured as the Irish Haulier of the Year for 2015, fittingly just ahead of their 30th year in business.
