The US Special Envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs, Joe Kennedy III, visited Dungannon to take part in a manufacturing sector roundtable discussion facilitated by Mid Ulster District Council.

Special Envoy Kennedy was accompanied by the recently appointed US Consul General James Applegate and the Head of the NI Civil Service, Jayne Brady. The delegation met representatives from Mid Ulster District Council, Department for the Economy, Manufacturing NI, and Mid Ulster MEGA (Manufacturing & Engineering Growth & Advancement), as well as senior representatives from Mid Ulster’s leading Manufacturing businesses.

Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering is a key economic driver in the District. Mid Ulster District has earned the reputation of being a global leader in the manufacture and distribution of mobile crushing and screening equipment, with more than 40% of the world’s product being made in Mid Ulster by manufacturing and engineering businesses and exported across the world.
