Teva to Add 165 New Jobs to Irish Manufacturing Plant
.jpg)
Teva Pharmaceuticals announced yesterday that it will invest €65 million in its facility in Waterford, Ireland, and that it is creating an additional 165 new jobs over five years. Teva has three pharmaceutical plants and a research and development facility on its Waterford campus which was previously owned by IVAX Corporation. The expansion has been helped by grants from Ireland’s inward investment promotion agency, IDA Ireland.
The existing facility supplies Teva's European respiratory products and also makes a range of treatments for the US market. The site is also Teva’s main research centre for respiratory products. The investment is expected to double the production capacity of both its inhaler and tablet manufacturing capacity. Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. acquired the respiratory products business as part of its acquisition of the IVAX Corporation in January 2006.
This is good news for the Irish pharmaceutical manufacturing industry which has been experiencing something of a slow down over the past year or so.
Until next time….
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!
