Printing firm set to close in New Year
A specialist Belfast printing company owned by Ulster Weavers is due to close early in the New Year.
Dunmurry Print, which was bought by Ulster Weavers 17 years ago, blamed the closure on falling demand, both nationally and internationally, for its printed cloth and cheaper offshore production.
Three employees working at the facility will transfer to the company’s Maldon Street plant in Belfast, while a further three workers will possibly transfer to Ulster Weavers’ production unity when the redundancies take place in March.
Ulster Weavers Home Fashions Managing Director, Ian McMorris said the closure of the company was part of a restructuring programme that aimed to keep Ulster Weavers “strong and competitive”. (MB)
