The business process services firm Abtran has signed a new extended contract with the British Foreign and Commonwealth Service to provide passport information services.
The company, which has contracts to provide services to such clients as An Post, Hibernian Health, and the HSE, has said it is expects turnover this year to be approximately €22 million.
A spokesman for the company said the new contract means Abtran will be providing services for three countries in addition to the eight it already handles.
The company provides back-up office services to embassies and consulates so they can free up their staff for other duties.
The spokesman said Abtran employs 448 people in a number of locations in Ireland. Founded in 1997, it has its headquarters in Bishopstown, Co Cork.
It is owned by Gerard, Michael and Patrick Fitzgerald, and Pat Ryan, all from Cork.
