The company designs and manufactures bespoke materials washing equipment for the construction, mining, specialist industrial sands and environmental sectors. This investment underpins its plan to expand its export reach, and in particular to target markets in North America, Australia, South Africa, Brazil and Europe.

"The 50 new jobs offer employment opportunities across a range of disciplines including engineering design, finance, sales and marketing, and are a boost to county Tyrone and the wider economy. This expansion further builds on CDE Global's sustained growth which has been driven by its focus on product development and export sales.

"I am also delighted to report that Invest NI has surpassed its Programme for Government target for jobs promoted. The agency was set a target by the NI Executive of 25,000 in four years. As at the end of May, the agency has promoted 25,543 jobs, ten months ahead of schedule.

"This is the fifth of its Programme for Government targets it has delivered against early, testament to the hard work and dedication of the team at Invest NI."
