A CO Tyrone electrical engineering firm has secured a lucrative new £1.2 million contract in Dubai.
Coalisland based Saturnled, has secured a distribution agreement for its patented Easilite system in the UAE, with the major contract following hot on the heels of nine jobs created at the company to help support its growing export business.
The positions, which are now all in place, are supported by £78,000 of financial assistance from Invest NI.
Saturnled manufactures and sells an extensive range of bespoke LED lighting designs from its Coalisland facility. The Easilite system is an easy to instal lighting module that transforms an existing lighting system into a smart lighting system, controlled through an iPhone or Android smart device via Bluetooth.
CEO of Saturnled Mark O'Connor highlighted the huge growth of the company since its inception four years ago.
"We have grown rapidly since 2013 and have brought new products to market in order to remain competitive. This strategy has seen our turnover double year on year and 90 per cent of our products are now sold outside of Northern Ireland.
“Our latest innovation, Easilite, has already had significant interest and we have agreed distribution agreements in, Dubai, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain as well as Europe."
"We are excited for the possibilities for future growth and look forward to building on the strong business relationships we have made in Dubai to drive future success in this region," he added.
Ethna McNamee, Invest NI’s western regional manager said Saturnled is a great example of a successful indigenous company.
