The new machinery is capable of producing the highest performing and most cost-effective energy-efficient sealed units.
The MP met many of the 25-strong Hourglass team.
The machine, which is the only one of its kind in the region, will help the business to grow further and secure existing jobs , whilst potentially creating demand for new posts in the future.
Kevin Averiss, managing director at Hourglass Seal, said: "The last year has been a tremendously exciting time for Hourglass and we were very pleased to celebrate the success of the business since installing the new line. The machine has helped us to build on our strong reputation for quality and innovation."
