30 jobs to be cut at medical equipment company
Approximately 30 jobs are to be lost at a medical equipment company in Ballymoney, County Antrim.
The American owned company, Tyco Healthcare, made the announcement today, claiming that the redundancies were due to a drop in demand for their products and that it was unlikely that there would be any improvement for the foreseeable future.
Plant Manager Rui dos Santos said: "As a result of this manufacturing reduction, we will unfortunately be placed in a possible redundancy situation."
He added that the company are set to enter into a 30-day consultation period with workers and union representatives to discuss a solution to the inevitable job losses.
Tyco currently employs 270 people and has been in operation in Ballymoney for 36 years and produces needles, syringes and other single-use medical equipment.
This is the second time in a month that a Northern Ireland based US medical equipment firm had had to make cutbacks.
Earlier this month in west Belfast, Trivirix announced that 76 employees were to be made redundant, also because of a lack of demand for their services.
