The pharmaceutical giant said on Thursday that the investment, its biggest in Ireland to date, will fund the construction of a new manufacturing facility on the existing site and will “significantly expand” the company’s capacity. Once the company receives planning permission, it expects to begin work at the site in 2024 with a view to completing the project in 2027.
“We are very pleased about today’s announcement, as it significantly strengthens our operations in Ireland, where we have three high-performing and strategic manufacturing sites,” said Pfizer executive vice-president Mike Dermott in a statement.
