Caterpillar investment to create 26 new jobs
Caterpillar Inc, the global manufacturing giant that is represented in Northern Ireland by FG Wilson Engineering, has announced that it is to create a second shared services operation here with the creation of 26 new jobs.
The Invest NI backed project involves setting up an Information Systems Shared Service Centre for the company’s UK operations.
Announcing the investment Leslie Morrison, Invest NI’s Chief Executive, said: “The announcement underlines Caterpillar’s commitment to, and confidence in its Northern Ireland operations.
“Just a few months ago it set up a shared financial services facility in Larne with Invest NI support, and is clearly impressed by the high quality skills base available here.”
The current project will develop new capability to deliver centralised Information Systems services and support other parts of the Caterpillar organisation in implementing complex new information systems.
The centre will be situated in the FG Wilson site in Larne and be run as an integral part of the Systems and Processes Division currently based in Northern Ireland.
