Arlene Foster announced the new business between DiskShred, Mallusk, and De Graaf Security of Purmerend, near Amsterdam, at a Northern Ireland-Netherlands Trade, (NI-NL) event, in Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

"DiskShred's contract is the result of a business relationship that was assisted by Invest Northern Ireland through the 'Going Dutch' programme. The contract will provide an important platform for the company to grow export business in the Netherlands as well as other parts of Europe.
