"I would like to thank all of the creditors who supported our efforts in this regard and apologise that we have not succeeded.
"We are very hopeful that current projects in hand will continue to be developed during the course of the administration process. This should ensure that current employment levels will be maintained.
"However this will ultimately be a decision for the appointed administrators."
Administrator PwC is in charge at Carvill's Northern Ireland headquarters.
PwC said: "We are currently in discussion with the directors and will issue a further statement in due course."
