Canyon Europe invests £3.1m in new production line
Canyon Europe will increase its exports to Europe after investing £3.1m in a new production line at its Mallusk facility in Northern Ireland.
A subsidiary of Japanese-owned Canyon Corporation, the company specialises in the design and manufacture of consumer and industrial trigger sprayers and dispensers. It was established in Northern Ireland in 1987 as a strategic base for accessing the European market. Since then, it has grown into a key player in the industry, exporting to over 30 countries.
The production line will produce its new trigger sprayer, Minerva T22. It has been designed to reduce the amount of plastic used in production, meeting sustainable packaging regulations. The investment will also create 13 new roles, including two apprenticeships.

Hugh Ross, managing director of Canyon Europe, said: “Since setting up in Northern Ireland, we have built a strong international presence in over 30 countries and now employ over 80 staff. We’re making this significant investment because we see substantial growth potential in our new product, which we believe will be a major driver for our business over the next five years. By manufacturing our latest innovation in Mallusk, the Minerva T22, we will also gain a competitive advantage through reduced delivery times and lower shipping costs, enhancing our service to European customers.”
Kieran Donoghue, CEO of Invest Northern Ireland, said: “Canyon Europe’s decision to invest further in Northern Ireland underscores our strength as a hub for advanced manufacturing and export-driven growth. Invest NI has supported Canyon Europe for over 30 years and our latest support for new equipment for its production line will help the company increase its productivity by 20 per cent and boost its competitiveness in Europe. This investment will also create 13 new roles including two apprenticeships, supporting career development at a range of levels.”
