Aromet Group Create 32 New Jobs
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has announced that US-owned Aromet Group Ltd is to create 32 new jobs in a £3.2 million expansion of its Lisburn operation.
The investment, which is being supported by Invest Northern Ireland, was announced during the Minister’s visit to the company on the Ballinderry Road.
Invest NI has offered £160,000 in support of this project.
Aromet Group is a subsidiary of Tech International based in Ohio, the world’s leading provider of tyre and tube repair solutions. The Lisburn facility manufactures a range of tyre repair products for the international marketplace.
Announcing the investment Arlene Foster said: "Aromet Group has a long history in Northern Ireland and this significant investment marks its further commitment to the region. As well as creating 32 jobs, the investment will see the company upgrade its factory premises, install state-of-the-art IT systems and develop a new e-commerce website.
"In today's highly competitive world, R&D needs to be at the heart of every business growth strategy so I am pleased to see that Aromet is also expanding its research and development function to strengthen its focus on innovation.
"Building elements of R&D and innovation into a company’s core activities is not only important for individual business success but absolutely essential to wider economic growth. The support offered by Invest NI, under its Boosting Business initiative, signifies the government’s focus to secure the long-term growth of our economy by encouraging all Northern Ireland businesses to consider how R&D can give them an advantage in the market place."
Aromet currently employs 60 staff. The additional staff will be mainly manufacturing and sales positions, but four new high level management posts will also be created. The company plans to target new high profile clients across Europe.
