APT's export achievements recognised

The Institute of Export for Northern Ireland has chosen Belfast-based data compression specialist, Audio Processing Technology (APT), as the recipient of its prestigious Exporter of the Year Award for 2002.

APT’s Managing Director, Noel McKenna, received the award from Jim Stewart, Chairman of the Institute of Export in Northern Ireland, at the Institute's annual awards dinner, which took place at the Dunadry Hotel, Belfast in December.

Commenting on the accolade, Mr McKenna said: “We are both delighted and honoured to receive this award from the Institute. It recognises the tremendous effort of our team to travel the world and generate exports to countries as far apart as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, USA, Canada, Middle East, South Africa and Europe. We have been supplying high quality audio products to these markets for the last 10 years and we are constantly trying to open up new countries and market sectors to our technology. APT has contributed in excess of £20 million in electronic products exports to the NI economy over the last 10 years and this award will give us renewed enthusiasm to continue our efforts.”
