Dunmurry firm lands major order from China

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: “Winning the £50,000 contract to design, manufacture and supply bespoke window vents to a new high-rise apartment block in Shanghai is a very significant development for this export-focused company.

“The new business in China shows that smaller businesses in industries such as building products can be successful there by investing the necessary time and other resources to research the market, identify potential customers and follow up leads.”

Declan Gormley, Brookvent Managing Director said: “Our participation in Invest Northern Ireland’s trade activities and the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce Export First programme has been very helpful.

“This is an immensely encouraging and exciting contract in a vast marketplace that, we believe, offers substantial opportunities.

“What helped us to secure a platform for growth in China is our commitment to innovation, now at the forefront of all our business processes.

“We have taken a strategic decision to focus resources on exporting resulting in this and our other recently announced business worth over £500,000 in Poland.”
