Arlene Foster said: "SlurryKat is an ambitious and export-led company with an impressive track record in developing and delivering highly innovative machinery for the efficient management of slurry and other farm waste materials. Their success is built on a strong market focus and flexible manufacturing systems which enable them to identify and respond quickly to opportunities for its innovative product range.

"The assistance offered by Invest Northern Ireland in recent years has enabled Slurrykat to expand its international sales and broaden its product range. I am pleased Invest Northern Ireland has been able to support these new jobs by the offer of £84,000 through their Jobs Fund.

"The 12 new roles, in areas such as manufacturing, production, customer service and quality control, will help to meet anticipated levels of business in the coming months.
