Comtek Network Systems Creates 21 Jobs

Invest Northern Ireland's Chief Executive, Alastair Hamilton, has welcomed the news that Comtek Network Systems (UK) Ltd is establishing a specialist Service and Repair Engineering Centre in Newtownabbey, creating 21 new jobs.

Comtek is a Pan-European provider of repairs and support to the telecoms, datacoms and network service industry and end-users. It works with leading systems integrators, distributors and end users to extend the life of legacy IT and telecoms equipment, irrespective of its age or manufacturer.

The investment is being supported by Invest NI, which has offered £157,500.

Mr Hamilton said: "I'm delighted that, with Invest NI's support, Northern Ireland has again been able to secure another valuable inward investment from a company in the growing IT Telecoms and Network Servicing sector.

"Comtek is creating 21 high value jobs over the next three years, which is good news for the local economy. Its presence will also add to the expanding cluster of IT Service companies that we now have in Northern Ireland further enhancing our reputation as a region of excellence in this sector.

"Through its services, which essentially extend the life of telecoms and network assets, Comtek is also helping to address the growing global problem of electronic waste and is therefore contributing to environmental sustainability."
