Lisburn-based McGreevy Engineering Ltd has celebrated a successful few years of growth with a significant investment in machinery and suitable facilities.

The firm, which specialises in precision machined components, 5-axis milling and multi axis turn milling, has invested £395,000 to help enable its ongoing growth and to fulfil orders from North America.

Last year the business expanded further into the aerospace market and reported a 50% growth. McGreevy is now currently revamping its premises as part of its growth plan.

Speaking about the investments, Managing Director Aaron McGreevy said: "The new investment will enable the company to further diversify its capabilities, setting it up to carry out projects for the aerospace manufacturing market. It is an exciting time for the company, the engineering sector in Northern Ireland is one of the best in the world, competition is rife and this investment will position McGreevy Engineering among the finest that Northern Ireland has to offer."
