UPU Industries create ten production jobs

The company, which manufactures and exports crop containment, binding and protection products for the agri-food sector, has significantly extended its global reach over the last 12 months, resulting in the recruitment of ten new production operatives.

Several new contract wins has further accelerated UPU’s growth plans, resulting in the need to supplement its production and packaging teams at its Dromore site, where they currently employ a workforce of 55.

UPU also operates a production facility in Kansas, USA to service its customer base across the USA’s agri-heartland including states such as Illinois, Nebraska, Indiana and Iowa.

Gary Millar, Sales Director of UPU Industries said: “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the spotlight has fallen on the food chain, and the need to sustain production levels across the agri-food sector. By ensuring the consistency and quality of our crop conservation ranges, UPU is playing its part in this critically important process.

“This is further reflected in our manufacturing site where we now need to expand our team.

“In the current uncertain climate, when skilled people in sectors such as hospitality are facing business uncertainty and job losses, UPU presents a great opportunity to join an innovative, forward-thinking company which has ambitious growth plans.”
