More than 300 new jobs are being created by a firm which makes double glazing.

It is part of a £30m 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: "This is a very important step for Camden and is in line with our strategic growth plans, which include providing a range of quality products using the latest technologies to enable us to expand business opportunities to existing markets as well as reach new markets."

He said the group would employ more than 1,000 people after the new posts were filled.
