US healthcare company Abbott Laboratories has announced plans to create 1,000 jobs as part of of a €440m investment here.
The new 250,000 square foot manufacturing facility, which will be located on the IDA Business and Technology Park in Loughboy, Kilkenny is subject to planning permission. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that Abbott has a long and successful history, first establishing operations in Ireland in 1946, and this new investment is a great vote of confidence in the workforce here, and in this country as a place to invest.
"These 1,000 new jobs are a huge boost and really speak to the strength of Abbott's 5,000 existing staff here. We never take this investment for granted," he added.
