Invest NI has offered the firm a range of assistance over a number of years, totalling circa £230K, including a grant for R&D, innovation vouchers, assistance to participate on trade missions and marketing support.

Colin Foster, TruCorp’s managing director said: “For too long, health professionals have had to use unrealistic models for practicing skills training.

“In response, we have designed, engineered and produced a wide variety of training manikins for airway management and trauma training on both adults and paediatrics.

“Through Invest NI support we have grown our reputation globally by using Invest NI trade missions to showcase our unique products in international markets and used its marketing support to ensure we meet the needs of our customers in key target markets.

“This contract is an important milestone in the growth of our business and we hope to continue to build on our network of contacts in the US to generate further export sales.”
