A county Tipperary business is one of two companies that have signed multi-million contracts in France.
Wood Energy Solutions, which is based in Cahir, has entered mainland Europe markets through the use of a distributor in France.
Also signing a contract was wastewater treatment systems manufacturer Tricel, based in Killarney.
The two contracts are worth in the region of €5 million. They were signed as the Taoiseach pays a visit to France.
