BOD Vehicle Support Services (Iveco), the Republic’s sole distributor for Iveco after-sales service and support, moved into the new facility yesterday.
The company was previously located on the Naas Road, on the city centre side of the M50, but had experienced increasing access difficulties owing to the development of the Luas Red Line to Tallaght and mounting congestion on that section of the N7.
"We need to be accessible to our customers, suppliers and partners," said Chief Executive Brian O’Donoghue.

"This is why we chose Greenogue, which is just off the N7 Exit 4 further out of the city, and offers easy access to our customers throughout the Greater Dublin Area and beyond."
BOD Vehicle Support Services began the process of looking for new premises in 2008. The process involved extensive consultation with customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders to establish what they required from a location.
This led to the move to a purpose built premises in the Greenogue Business Park in Rathcoole.
The new premises comprise a 29,000 square foot, 17 bay workshop; a 19,000 square foot high rise stores area; a dedicated 3-bay van centre; and a 12,000 square foot office and administrative block including a staff training suite and dedicated customer facilities.
The multi-million euro investment includes a substantial additional investment in new equipment and inventory in order to facilitate further enhancements to BOD Vehicle Support Services quality of service to customers, said a company spokesman.
