"Our continued investment in developing our range of bespoke thermal treatment and waste to energy systems has opened doors for us as a company throughout the UK, Ireland and further afield."

Conor Donnelly, Technical Sales Director, AIC Group Limited, said: "Assisted by a grant from Invest Northern Ireland, the company has invested significantly in developing its EcoTech product range, a selection of bespoke waste to energy systems, enabling its customers to transform waste products into usable heat and electrical energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

"We’ve rapidly expanded our product range from small stand-alone solutions treating agricultural waste to advanced high-capacity systems to meet the needs of the hazardous waste disposal and sustainable energy markets. Our ability to design, manufacture, install and maintain these bespoke solutions for our customers has been a key selling point for us. As a result of our continuing success and with ongoing reinvestment within the company, we are now taking on a further six employees in both office and factory floor positions, to ensure that we can meet the growth in demand for the product range."

Invest NI has offered AIC Group Limited support to develop the EcoTech range of thermal treatment and waste to energy systems, marketing assistance and support to create six new jobs, which will grow its team to 16.

In recognition of AIC Group Limited's commitment to innovation, Innovate NI has awarded the company a Gold Level Innovator Certificate.
