The company is now supplying its eco-friendly fuel polishing system to Loadbanks, a major equipment business in Warsaw. The contact with Loadbanks was made during the Invest NI trade mission to Poland earlier in the year.
The contract in Poland was announced by David Craig, Managing Director of Robert Craig, which is based at Knockmore Hill Industrial Estate in Lisburn, and welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director.

Mr Craig, commenting on the company's latest contract, which follows success in the Netherlands and Finland, said: "Our fuel system attracted attention in Poland because of the nation's developing focus in environmental issues. What the system does is to eliminate the threat pollution of the environment caused by diesel fuel that has deteriorated through water penetration and may have to be dumped in a landfill site.
"Poland looks likely to become a very important market for us because of the European Union pressure to address environmental problems and also because the economy there is continuing to grow steadily. Both these factors increase sales potential.
"Poland has an immensely strong heritage in engineering and an interest in innovative new equipment and techniques. In addition, the country offers easy access to other neighbouring markets, most of which are investing in measures to improve the environment.
"We've also found doing business there generally hassle-free because most Polish business people speak English."
Craig and Sons will be joining its new partner at Poland's biggest trade fair for the energy industry - Energetab 2012 - in Warsaw next month.
