Derrylin-based Ernco Group is boosting its exports and local employment after securing a contract through the local authority framework in the Republic of Ireland.

The €3.2 million agreement, shared with three other companies, includes the supply of new signage to replace existing speed limit signs. As part of its expansion, Ernco Group is creating six new jobs in Fermanagh, supported by Invest Northern Ireland.

Seamus Owens, Director at Ernco Group, said: "The contract with the local authority means that we are increasing our exports substantially in the Republic of Ireland, and we’re delighted to be growing our headcount here in Derrylin.

"We've been working with Invest NI for almost 20 years, and its support has been instrumental in helping us increase efficiency, compete for government tenders, and win this significant contract. We’ve invested in new machinery with its support, which has doubled our production capacity and eliminated a significant amount of non-reusable waste. Invest NI’s also helped us to broaden our consultancy services, and we’re upskilling existing staff through management and technical training."
