Irish firms which are backed by Enterprise Ireland have won €3m in new export deals in the US.

They were announced on a trade mission to the US being headed by Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mary Coughlan this week.

Cubic Telecom, a Cork-based global mobile communications provider, is providing technology to Qik, a social networking and video blogging service.

Documatics, a Cork-based company which supplies document management technology, has also sealed a deal to provide its software to Boston-based GE Sensing. Documatics recently set up an office in Los Angeles to support its US expansion.

SensorPro, a Limerick-based company involved in web-based online survey tools, announced a partnership with StrongMail Systems.

“With a combined value of €3m these deals reflect the steady growth and success of Irish companies in the U.S. market especially coming on the back the recent trade mission to the East Coast of the US when the Taoiseach announced new sales for Enterprise Ireland client companies of over €100m”

“The diversity of Irish companies forging deals with U.S. partners and being recognised for their outstanding technology is highly impressive. From software services to semiconductors and alternative energy, Ireland continues to distinguish itself as a center of innovation excellence."

“I’m delighted to acknowledge the efforts of these companies and their teams. They are tremendous ambassadors of Irish business and I congratulate them on striking these lucrative deals in the U.S. market.”
