Biopharmaceutical multinational AbbVie said it will create 70 new jobs at its facility in Cork as part of a €60 million investment.
The expansion of its site at Carrigtwohill will allow the operation there to support the company’s aesthetics business, it said. Construction will start next year, with the expansion expected to be completed by 2025. “The expansion and associated cutting-edge technologies will help us to further develop our employees and attract new skilled talent,” AbbVie Cork site director Malcolm Garde said. This is “a fantastic opportunity for the Cork site.”
The 70 new roles will be spread across various areas including sterile manufacturing, quality control, and engineering, and are supported by IDA Ireland. The Carrigtwohill site employs about 150 people at present.
So just under 1 million per job?
