Recruitment is already underway.
Sanmina Ireland Manufacturing has announced an expansion of its Fermoy medical facility in North Cork.
The investment is expected to create up to 150 highly skilled new jobs, with recruitment already underway.
The completed facility expansion will be opened today by An Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
The operation in Fermoy dates back to the site’s opening in 1989. Since then, it has grown to become Sanmina’s largest medical facility in Europe. The expansion to the site is expected to further enhance Sanmina’s capabilities for the finished medical device market, reinforcing Ireland’s role as a leading hub for medical technology manufacturing.
The site includes advanced manufacturing capabilities, and its first new automation line is already installed and being commissioned. The expansion will also include a new ISO8 clean room and several high-volume automation lines dedicated to producing wearable medical devices.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin, said “This expansion is a strong vote of confidence in the skills, talent and ability of the workforce in Cork and beyond, and of Ireland’s continued attractiveness as a destination for international investment and a global leader in medical technology innovation.”
Sean Moran, SVP of IMS Europe at Sanmina, said “This expansion underscores Sanmina’s long-term commitment to Fermoy and to Ireland as a centre of excellence for medical technology manufacturing. For over 36 years, our Fermoy site has been driven by exceptional talent and a strong culture of innovation and quality. That combination has been central to our success and to supporting the growth of our customers in the global medical device marketplace while creating high-quality employment and opportunity in the region.”
