Description
More than 300 new jobs are being created by a firm which makes double glazing. It is part of a 30 million GBP investment by the Antrim-based Camden Group.
The jobs will be created at a purpose-built factory which makes special energy efficient double glazed units. Camden also announced it had acquired County Tyrone based K McAnallen Ltd, trading as Pilkington K'Mac.
It said the takeover would secure the employment of the 95-strong workforce at the Benburb plant, which will be rebranded Camden Glass.
The group's managing director, Kieran Lavery, said the decision was a very important step for Camden and that the group would employ more than 1,000 people after the new posts were filled.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
