Invest NI’s support has been invaluable to us over many years and has enabled us to reach new customers in a cost-effective way.

"2016 has been a momentous year for SDC following the company's acquisition by CIMC Vehicles; the world's largest trailer manufacturer with a presence in Continental Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and Africa. I am continuing our focus on product innovation and bespoke trailer manufacturing, SDC will have further success in the export market."
