Six manufacturing firms are to create over 40 new jobs in Northern Ireland.

Big Picture Joinery, Mango Bikes, Amphora NDT, Carey Cleaning Machines Ltd, Gault Engineering and Premier Protective Coatings Ltd have created the posts to help increase turnover and export sales.

Invest NI has offered £261,000 of support towards the 41 new jobs.

Invest Northern Ireland is assisting six manufacturing firms to create over 40 jobs to help increase business turnover and export sales.

Moira Loughran, Invest NI's Eastern and North Eastern regional manager said: "I am delighted that we are supporting six Northern Ireland manufacturing firms to create 41 new jobs in an effort to help these companies drive growth in turnover and increase their export sales.

"Growing and strengthening our indigenous manufacturing businesses is at the core of our business strategy and these investments demonstrate that despite the global challenges facing certain areas of manufacturing, there is real opportunity for growth. In fact, based on data collected as part of our business strategy monitoring, the Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing sector saw the largest jobs growth on the previous year.

"The companies are making investments of £3.7million and creating valuable employment that once in place, will generate almost £1.2million in additional annual salaries for the Northern Ireland economy."
