Mackie International

Mackie International

James Mackie & Sons was a textile machinery engineering plant and foundry in Northern Ireland. The company closed in 1999. Latterly called Mackie International, at its height James Mackie & Sons was one of the largest employers in Belfast. Mackie's, as they were known locally, were a major supplier of munitions during World War II.

United States President Bill Clinton made a speech at the site in 1995, addressing a mixed audience in light of the beginning of the Northern Ireland peace process. In 2001 the Industrial Development Board bought the site for redevelopment, which resulted in the Springvale Business Park.
