DUNGANNON manufacturer Nugent Engineering has announced a new £3.6 million contract to export trailers to Norway.

The family-owned firm will supply its range of commercial trailers to Tysse, Norway's, enhancing the Norwegians’ current range by offering a fully welded chassis and Nugent patented parabolic suspension system.

Managing director Shane Nugent said he is confident the new three-year deal will lead to further job creation at the firm's Galbally base.

"The interest in Nugent is increasing because Europe is fast becoming a market for high quality, robust trailers. Demand is showing a new generation of consumers, particularly in the Norwegian market, which has the highest number of trailers per capita due to its geography and rugged terrain."

Nugent Engineering is Ireland’s premier manufacturer of trailers, agricultural machinery and livestock equipment, employing 78 staff in Galbally and exporting across Europe, Australi and New Zealand.
