Neil Bradburne, Barclays relationship director, said: "With the recent exchange rate movement, UK manufacturers now have a worldwide appeal and it's good to see a local company taking advantage of market conditions and expanding for the future.
"This deal is pivotal for the business and I hope we see more South Yorkshire businesses taking advantage of overseas trading, expanding for the future which in turn will benefit the economy and create more jobs locally."
Macalloy moved to the former Rotherham colliery site at Dinnington from Sheffield in November 2006 as part of their continued expansion.
