SFM Engineering has extended its premises which has increased production and created new jobs.

The expansion works at the company's new 80,000 sq ft headquarters in Keady has enabled employee numbers to rise from 60 to 100.

With a £3.5 million investment from the Bank of Ireland UK, the company has seen a 100% uplift in production of its specialist products.

SFM Engineering manufactures for the material processing equipment industry, supplying companies locally and internationally.

Paul Breen, Managing and Commercial Director at SFM Engineering, said: "The factory here in Keady has been at the heart of the town for over 60 years and for 50 years before that it was the local railway station. It was important to us that, given the opportunity, SFM Engineering continue that legacy and now this investment will provide greater stability and sustainability.

"We are proud that products being produced here in Keady are being used in machinery and production processes in Northern Ireland, the UK and as far away as USA and Australia.

"The investment in the premises and equipment means we can meet the growing demand for our products and services. With the additional capacity, we have an opportunity to double our output and nearly double our team. This will provide further skilled jobs right here in Keady, helping us give back to the local community and economy.

"Bank of Ireland UK have been beside us throughout our expansion plans, from the planning stages to completing the works and now looking ahead to the future. Not only have they supported us with finance, but the team have taken the time to get to know our business and understand our future plans in terms of growth, export and sustainability, which is really important to us."

Diane McCall, Senior Business Manager at the Bank of Ireland UK, said: "SMEs play a vital role in our economy from an economic and social development perspective and we are delighted to work closely with SFM Engineering and support them on this next phase of their successful business journey.

"At Bank of Ireland UK we are privileged to work with some of the best and most innovative businesses across Northern Ireland who trust us to provide the right services and products at the right time to enable them to grow. We do not take their business for granted and recognise their commitment, resilience and exceptional work day in and day out that drives their success."
