Biomaterial and polymer company Ortec creating 110 jobs
The new facility, which will also include a manufacturing and operations centre, will be located in Newcastle West. The jobs created will be highly skilled engineering and science posts.
Ortec manufactures customised products for the medical devices, pharmaceuticals and other health-related sectors.
The company is to move into a 13,000 sq foot facility in Newcastle West and will double the size of the plant in the coming months, subject to planning permission.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Employment Mary Mitchell O’Connor welcomed the news. “There are many advantages for companies like Ortec to choose our regions to set up their business and I welcome their decision to choose Newcastle West,” she said. “These are exactly the kind of high-quality graduate jobs that we seek to attract and it is a strong vote of confidence for Ireland and our regions that Ortec has decided to establish its European headquarters here.”
