Newry Firm In Major Singapore Deal
FM Environmental, the Newry-based specialist in waste water management, is to help caterers in the state-of-the-art Terminal 3 at Changi International Airport, Singapore to eliminate grease pollution.
The company is to supply 22 of its leading-edge Grease Guardian machines, worth around £100,000, to the terminal in the deal signed following the recent Invest Northern Ireland trade mission to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
The Grease Guardian machines automatically removes over 95 per cent of grease, fats and oils that cause most of the pipe blockages in the kitchens of restaurants, cafes and other food outlets.
Announcing the latest contract for Grease Guardian, Eamonn Fitzpatrick, FM Environmental Chairman, said: “This is an immensely important breakthrough for us in a market that we have been targeting for many years. While we have sold a number of Grease Guardians to restaurants there over the years, the contract with Changi International Airport is easily our most prestigious and important. It gives us a high profile reference site for our equipment in Singapore that will be of enormous benefit in negotiations with other potential customers.”
Welcoming FM Environmental’s latest export contracts, Alan Hingston, Invest NI’s Director of Trade, said: “This company is one of the many exceptional success stories of our Passport to Export programme. It’s tremendously encouraging for us to see how FM has developed into a global company with an impressive portfolio of ‘blue chip’ clients including the world’s leading fast food companies, international hotels and major airports such as Heathrow, Barcelona, Schipol in Amsterdam, and Oslo.”
FM Environmental currently employs 58 people in Newry across its range of wastewater operations that also include the design, manufacture and installation of packaged sewage treatment plants.
