Strabane jobs secure thanks to £2.5m investment
A leading manufacturer of flexible packaging has invested over £2.5 million in state-of-the-art technology to secure the long-term future of its Strabane plant.
The investment by Boran Mopack Ltd (BML) will safeguard 57 jobs and will see the company become one of just a few firms across Europe to use such technology.
Managing Director, Máirtín Boran, said: “Updating our plant with the latest technologies was essential to meet the demands of our current customer base.
"We are now in a position to readily meet our customers increasing demands – increased print quality, production flexibility and quick response rates. It will enable us to increase trade with current customers and effectively compete for additional contracts in new markets outside Northern Ireland.”
As part of the development project, BML has allocated resources to a number of R&D projects to develop next generation products and remain ahead of its competitors.
The remaining funds will be pumped into developing skills deemed crucial to the ongoing success of the company.
