A Newtownabbey firm has secured two deals to supply its street furniture and solar products overseas.
Environmental Street Furniture (ESF) designs, sources and exports a selection of exterior street furniture products and integrated solar solution and technology based solutions. The products are promoted through four distinct collections: Signature, Simplicity, Sustainable and Streetwise.
The first contract secured by ESF is to supply McDonalds Fast Food restaurants in Italy with its Street Charging units. The initial contract is worth over £20,000.
Following an Invest NI Trade Mission to the United Arab Emirates earlier this year, the company has also secured an order to supply the Street Charge System to a new customer in Abu Dhabi. The contract is also estimated to be worth £20,000.
Alan Lowry, CEO and Managing Director of ESF said: "The Street Charge product is a revolutionary product with a very simple concept. It uses the sun's rays to charge internal batteries which in turn allows the public to charge all makes of mobile phones or tablets at the same speed as a wall socket.
"With the support of Invest NI we secured our first business in Azerbaijan earlier this year for the Baku European games, which gave us the skills and confidence to pursue further deals in new markets.
"We negotiated this new deal with McDonald's in Italy to supply and install two Street Charge units into McDonald's in Rho, Milan for the Expo Milano 2015. We also participated in an Invest NI trade mission earlier this year to the United Arab Emirates which gave us the opportunity to build a relationship with a new trading partner and make connections which have been instrumental in the recent growth of our business. This allowed us to secure an order to supply our Street Charge system to a company in Abu Dhabi."
