Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Still some life is the old dog (manufacturing)!!

The manufacturing sector has performed a mini revival in Munster Region the last few weeks with a number of new jobs created. There was a 250 jobs announcement by Zimmer in Shannon and now a further 50 with 100m investment by Vistakon. Vistakon has its plant in Limerick at the National Technological Park (near University of Limerick). This announcement is actually the 2nd expansion announcement by Vistakon in the past 2 years.

Other good news of the job front today is that initial fears of jobs loss at ICT Europe will not be happening.
