Med-tech boost for Galway
Another multi-national medical devices company has chosen Galway for its European expansion – creating around 40 jobs over the next five years.
Biomerics, the vertically integrated medical device contract manufacturer serving the interventional device market, is opening of a 2,000 sq. ft. Balloons & Balloon Catheters Centre of Excellence at Liosban Business Park in Galway.
This is Biomerics' first facility in Europe and the second facility outside the United States after Costa Rica.
It will become home to a growing team dedicated to the development and manufacturing of balloons and balloon catheters and act as an extension to the operations in Athens, Texas.
Galway-based Minister of State in the Department of Transport Hildegarde Naughton welcomed the announcement.
“This announcement is a great achievement for the West of Ireland and signals a bright future for businesses across the country,” she added.
