A recycling business from County Tyrone has secured multi-million pound contracts to export recycling machinery to Saudi Arabia with the support of UK government department UK Export Finance.
Kiverco is a family-owned business which designs and delivers recycling plants that process, separate and recover waste in a range of sectors. Its UK-designed technology helps clients deal more sustainably with construction waste, dry mixed recyclables, municipal solid waste and much more.
A £350k export insurance package from UK Export Finance means that they can now deliver major new contracts in Saudi Arabia, boosting revenue and supporting 100 local jobs.
With over 300 recycling plants in the UK and over 400 sites globally – across Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East – Kiverco has seen high demand from the waste sector in Saudi Arabia.
UKEF’s support will help the Dungannon-based recycling plant to build close commercial relationships in Saudi Arabia, opening up lucrative opportunities as the kingdom commits to more sustainable practices as they deliver huge levels of infrastructure investment.
