Draperstown firm Sperrin Metal was one of 15 companies participating in a trade mission to UAE and Kuwait as part of Invest Northern Ireland’s trade support activity.

Alastair Hamilton, CEO of Invest Northern Ireland reported that Northern Ireland exports to the Gulf region currently stand at £221m saying – “The purpose of trade missions like this is to help support the growth of these exports, building on existing relationships and forging new ones.”

Sperrin Metal are one of the leading storage manufacturers in Britain and Ireland. The company specialises in pallet racking manufacturing and are the only pallet racking manufacturers on the island of Ireland. As manufacturers they can offer clients bespoke pallet racking solutions and a range of standardised racking types including cantilever racking, adjustable racking and drive-in racking.

In addition to pallet racking Sperrin Metal design and supply other metal storage solutions such as mobile shelving, lockers / cubicles and electronic lockers.

Last year Sperrin Metal secured a £45k contract during the UAE trade mission and so are continuing this successful export strategy.

Peter Gormley, managing director of Sperrin Metal said: “We have participated in a number of Invest NI trade missions now and have secured new business as a direct result. Having access to in-market advisory support to help with research and assistance with visits to markets has been very helpful and certainly made our venture into these new territories a lot smoother.”

Whether it’s warehouse racking, storeroom racking or industrial racking, Sperrin’s in-house engineers can create a racking solution tailored to the exact requirements of the client.
