She said: "This state-of-the-art production facility marks an important milestone for Taxi & Bus Conversion Limited and signals its commitment to long-term growth.
"Invest NI’s continued support has played a significant role in the company’s growth to date and enabled the business to increase employment and invest in marketing, R&D and skills development."
David Donnell, MD of Taxi & Bus Conversions, said: "It has always been our priority to ensure that all our conversion work for both cars and minibuses, meets with industry standards and have invested time and energy to align the business with all new and existing legislation.
"This level of rigorous testing has helped us secure vehicle specific accreditations and build an alliance with VW and Motability, amongst others.

Our success to date combined with our growth programme demonstrates our passion for building a company to be proud of.
