Andor Technology, a scientific camera manufacturer, has signed an export deal to Russia worth £250k ($374k).
The deal, made during the Invest Northern Ireland trade mission, will see the Queen’s University Belfast spin-out export to a “new and influential client in Moscow”, according to Andor global sales director Mary Duseau.
Duseau added: “The client was immensely impressed by our innovative technology and the deal was signed within days of the meeting, providing a tremendous boost for us in a market that we’ve targeted for faster growth. The new client also provides us with an ideal reference site in the hugely important field of life science research. This will enhance our position as a leader in scientific camera systems in Russia especially with major research institutes.”
Andor, which employs nearly 300 people, was established in 1989. Since then, it has gone on to be listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2004.
