Description
More than 300 new jobs are being created by a firm which makes double glazing. It is part of a 30 million GBP investment by the Antrim-based Camden Group.
The jobs will be created at a purpose-built factory which makes special energy efficient double glazed units. Camden also announced it had acquired County Tyrone based K McAnallen Ltd, trading as Pilkington K'Mac.
It said the takeover would secure the employment of the 95-strong workforce at the Benburb plant, which will be rebranded Camden Glass.
The group's managing director, Kieran Lavery, said the decision was a very important step for Camden and that the group would employ more than 1,000 people after the new posts were filled.
