Boomer Industries to create jobs in Lisburn
Following a relocation to new premises in Lisburn, Boomer Industries has announced that the company expects to create around 13 new jobs, raising the total number of company employees to 53.
Set up in 1970 the company manufactures an extensive range of plastic and PVC extrusion products for companies operating within the building industry.
Commenting on the re-location to new premises Andrew Robinson, Managing Director of Boomer Industries said: “The new product ranges that we have recently introduced have made this move a necessity. It also marks a significant turning point in the continued development of our company in this its thirty-fifth year of trading and will allow us to increase our competitiveness.”
The purpose built 30,000 sq ft factory at Knockmore Industrial Estate, Lisburn will allow the company to develop its current capability as well as the export potential of its range of innovative products.
The company exports 70% of its output to Great Britain, 15% in Ireland and the remaining 15% to overseas markets including the Middle East and the United States.
Over recent years Invest Northern Ireland has provided a wide range of support and assistance for the locally based manufacturing company.
Performing the opening ceremony Invest NI Chief Executive Leslie Morrison said: “This re-location represents an exciting stage in the development of Boomer Industries Ltd. By focusing on innovative product development the company is continuing to grow and increase its presence within new and profitable export markets that will ultimately benefit the Northern Ireland economy as a whole.”
Under a property development agreement Invest Northern Ireland has supported the total development costs of £1.6 million for the new site with £399,000 worth of assistance.
Invest NI has also offered Boomer Industries Ltd approximately £79,000 in the past year to help the company improve its ICT infrastructure, product development and marketing programme.
