Mark Cuskeran, CEO of SDC Trailers, said: "We're delighted to have won this significant contract with the Kanoo Group, as we continue to build customer relationships and develop our presence in the Middle East. Invest NI's support has been invaluable to us over many years and has enabled us to reach new customers in a cost-effective way.

"2016 has been a momentous year for SDC following the company's acquisition by CIMC Vehicles; the world's largest trailer manufacturer with a presence in Continental Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and Africa. I am continuing our focus on product innovation and bespoke trailer manufacturing, SDC will have further success in the export market."
