Dungannon Firm Lands Six Figure Contract In Italy
A Northern Ireland recycling manufacturer has landed a six-figure contract to support post-earthquake recovery in Italy.
Dungannon-based Kiverco will see its mobile recycling plant deployed to help recover rubble in Umbria, which was hit with a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in August 2016.
The company's mobile equipment will help recycle the debris and turn it into valued EC-certified1 quality products that meet EU standards for the use of aggregates in road building. The treated products are then made available, at no cost, to the affected towns and villages for use in civil engineering works.
Kiverco Managing Director, Anne McKiver said: "We are constantly looking for business opportunities across the globe for our equipment. Invest NI's trade team has supported us to make several export market visits to Italy where we are now growing our business. It is now producing results with our first sale in Italy."
Alison Gowdy, Invest NI Trade Director, added: "Developing new export markets takes time and investment. We have supported Kiverco to build its export activities through support to exhibit at large European trade shows, access to translation services and help with export market visits. The Italian market was completely new to this company and I am delighted that the work put in to access this market is now paying off."
