Harmac Announces 100 Jobs In Castlerea
A leading manufacturer of medical devices is to expand its operation in Castlerea, Co Roscommon, with the support of government through IDA Ireland.
The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has announced that Harmac Medical Products, Inc. is making a significant investment in a 10,000 sq ft expansion of its facility and is creating 100 new jobs over the next five years which will bring total employment to 282 on completion. 20 of those positions have already been filled with recruitment underway for the remainder.
Making the announcement Minister Richard Bruton said: “Today’s announcement is great news for Castlerea and great news for Ireland. It represents a firm vote of confidence in our skilled workforce and our competitiveness by a leading US medical devices company, and will make a huge difference to 100 families in Co. Roscommon.
“I am determined to build on this announcement to ensure that thousands of families across the country can get similar news over the coming years. Last week’s Jobs Initiative was a good first step in ensuring that this can happen. However we must build on this and implement a range of ambitious policies to reduce costs to business, improve access to finance and encourage research, development and innovation.'
The Minister added: “I am developing ambitious plans in conjunction with my Department to address those key areas, so as to ensure that today’s announcement can be replicated all over the country in coming years and we can get jobs and the economy growing again. The expansion is the result of the Irish operation winning new and extended contracts to produce a range of products for its clients.”
Since first setting up its Irish operation in 1998 Harmac has become a significant employer in County Roscommon and an important addition to the Medical Technologies industry in Ireland.
