Antrim manufacturer SAM is investing £7 million in a new warehouse, product development and improved distribution.
The company, which makes interior and exterior medium-density fibreboard (MDF), said the move will see it create new jobs in the future as the business grows by focusing on its customers which include merchants across the UK.
It said it will spend £1 million of the investment in developing a new paint finish for its products, another £1 million in boosting efficiency in its distribution system and the remaining £5 million of the total on a 45,000 square foot warehouse at its Antrim base.
