"This is further great news for a local company which only one month ago secured a new £41million contract to supply 550 double deck bus kits to SBS Transit for assembly in Singapore.

"Over the years, Invest NI has worked closely with Wrightbus to support its research and development work into the design of new products and has offered significant investment to help the company expand.

"The Wright Group's continuing success in winning major contracts reflects the company's focus on innovation and export marketing which has resulted in it becoming a significant player across a range of international markets."
