Newry-Based Firm Scoops Business In Mexico
FM Environmental, the Newry-based specialist in grease removal and water treatment systems, has secured business in Mexico worth around £750,000 with support from Invest Northern Ireland.
FM Environmental has developed a successful portfolio of products for water and waste treatment and operates from a base at Greenbank Industrial Estate.
The new contract will see the company supply its industry leading Grease Guardian fat removal equipment to US owned Walmart, the world’s biggest retailer. The equipment will be used by Walmart in over 200 restaurants which the retailer currently operates in stores across Mexico.
FM Environmental has used assistance from Invest NI to develop its global marketing and has participated in the agency's international visit programme. The company currently exports equipment to over 30 markets including the US, Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland, France and Russia.
Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director, said: "This is an extremely important contract for a company which continues to demonstrate an impressive commitment to business growth in markets outside Northern Ireland.
"We've worked closely with FM Environmental on the development and implementation of international marketing plans through trade missions and participation in targeted exhibitions with its successful Grease Guardian machinery.
"The company has developed a structured approach to its international business involving extensive market research to pinpoint opportunities. Its success is also based on fast response to initial leads supported by excellent customer service. This responsive engagement is a key requirement for successful exporting and is something many companies neglect."
