Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Arlene Foster has welcomed today’s announcement by Ulster Carpets that it is to begin a £30million modernisation and expansion programme at its Portadown base.

Arlene Foster said: "Having been in business for 75 years, Ulster Carpets is a longstanding and highly regarded manufacturer of woven carpets. Undertaking this investment programme to improve its production facilities underpins the company’s long term commitment to Portadown.
"During the past 15 years, this family business has transformed into a major export player and continues to excel in a fiercely competitive world market selling its carpets to every continent in the world."
