OBE Waste & Agri Engineering has also sold two incinerators to Iraq, three to Kurdistan and exported other agricultural equipment to customers in Finland and Norway as a result of a marketing drive supported by Invest NI. The firm has recruited four additional production operatives to cope with its increased business activity.

Ian Murphy, Invest NI's Director of Growth & Scaling, said: "OBE Waste & Agri Engineering has concentrated its efforts on innovation and exports, both of which are leading to great international success. Invest NI has been supporting OBE since 2011 providing marketing assistance to help it develop its export presence. This latest order from Nigeria is testament to the company's success in this area and of its commitment to grow outside Northern Ireland."
