Arlene Foster said: “This significant investment will deliver increased efficiencies and capacity for McColgan’s, which will enable the company to target larger customers with the aim of increasing export sales by 50% over the next three years. McColgan’s is pursuing increased market share through a clear strategic direction founded on product quality, excellent customer service and continuous product development and innovation.
“The food and drink industry is important to the Northern Ireland economy, and innovation and market development remain crucial to its growth. Businesses like McColgan’s which focus on export markets and product innovation will help to drive the industry’s growth. This investment is also good news for Strabane and for the wider economy.”
