The company has taken part in a series of Invest NI trade missions and is now firmly established in key markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Finland.
In addition, the company used a recent Invest NI trade mission to establish a dealer in the Czech Republic. This has resulted in an order for two more fuel polishing units within two weeks of first meeting Pronix in Prague.

The company's success in European markets was announced by David Craig, Managing Director of Robert Craig and Sons, and welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director.
Mr Craig said: "We've used a broad range of export support from Invest NI to expand our business over the past five years. We've also used export guidance from our local Lisburn Council. Since focusing on the Netherlands, for example, our sales there have doubled every year and will exceed the £150,000 mark for the current year.
"The Dutch success also led to our first business in nearby Belgium, and we’ve also invested time and other resources to develop sales in Finland and Poland, again using Invest NI trade missions. As a result of this strategic focus, we expect exports to these markets to hit £500,000, very significant growth for a smaller business."
