Nitronica, based in Ballynahinch, (
www.nitronica.com)has secured new export sales with the help of Invest Northern Ireland’s technical advisory unit.
The company — a leading electronics manufacturer — serves the aerospace, defence, telecoms and industrial sectors.
Managing director John Mellon (pictured above) said: “Earlier this year, we sought advice from Invest NI’s technical experts on the best approach to expand our services to include bus-bar interconnection for a range of applications. The focus on this development stemmed from customer demand.
“To be in a position to gain additional contracts, we needed to join forces with Northern Ireland businesses already involved in bus-bar system design and integration. Invest NI put us in contact with Kane Engineering from Newtownards, which has more than 40 years’ experience in low-voltage switchgear and bus-bar design and manufacture.
"Together, we submitted a joint tender and secured a valuable order supplying bus-bar interconnections to the Republic of Ireland. This partnership with Kane has been a tremendous benefit to our business, and the advice from Invest NI’s technical advisory unit was crucial.”
Vicky Kell, Invest NI’s director of innovation and technical solutions, said: “Nitronica has maintained a close relationship with Invest NI and benefitted from the guidance of our technical advisors in deciding on its next move to take the business in a new direction.”
