£2m Chemical Treatment Facility Opens In Antrim
A new £2m chemical treatment facility has opened in Antrim that is expected to create 16 jobs over the next three years.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster and Environment Minister Mark H Durkan officially opened McQuillan Envirocare’s new chemical treatment facility today.
Minister Foster said: "The expansion of McQuillan Envirocare through their state-of-the-art chemical treatment facility is welcome news for the Antrim area and demonstrates how a locally owned, family firm who have been operating for over 100 years can continue to deliver advanced, high quality waste management service to clients. Working with Invest Northern Ireland, the company is benefiting from Jobs Fund support to recruit the additional staff needed to develop the business in its target markets."
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said: "This new development proves that the local waste management sector is responding to the challenges of waste management in the 21st Century and can provide high quality, high tech solutions to customers. It is particularly welcome that these developments are being led by local, family owned firms like McQuillans. This facility will help reduce waste exports, with multiple environmental benefits including reduced waste transport and reduced carbon dioxide emissions."
