New factory boosts manufacturing and creates jobs in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland’s manufacturing sector is to benefit to the tune of 80 new jobs.

The BBC reports Dungannon-based manufacturer Edge Innovate, which makes quarrying, recycling and materials handling equipment, intends to build a new factory and develop new export markets. As a result the company is creating the jobs supported by a grant of just under £1m from regional development agency Invest NI.

The firm’s managing director Darragh Cullen said the investment would help meet increased demand for its products.
