Export sales key for fast growing CDE

A Northern Ireland-based manufacturer has been ranked in the United Kingdom’s list of companies with the fastest growing international sales for the third year in a row.

CDE Global, an provider of wet processing equipment for industries including construction and demolition (C&D) waste, was placed 169^th in the 10^th annual Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200.

The league table ranks the UK’s mid-market private companies with the fastest-growing exports.

In the past two years, CDE has increased its annual international sales by 38%, with overseas revenues making up more than three-quarters of its total sales for 2018.

Since the mid-1990s, the company has designed and installed almost 2,000 turnkey wet processing solutions across the world.

Its recent achievements include a C&D waste project in New York and a multi-million-dollar project in Hawaii to produce washed sand and aggregates for use in the construction industry.

“At the core of CDE’s international operations is a commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to our growing list of global customers,” said managing director Brendan McGurgan.

“Leveraging the latest in technology and engineering techniques our world-class team continue to innovate and lead the market, adding greater value to customers and their bottom line.

“This recognition comes during a period of significant growth as we continue to reinvest in the company. Last year, we opened our North America Headquarters in Cleburne, Texas, to gain a greater foothold in the market in North and South America.

“In the coming weeks we will officially open our new global headquarters.”
