A central ambition of our Action Plan for Jobs process is to ensure that all regions of the country benefit from the recovery. Today's announcement is another step in that direction and I wish the company and its workforce every success for the future."

This will contribute to the future growth of the business and employment opportunities for the community. We are thrilledto be located in Portlaoise with access to a strong local skills base to support our operations. It is a big vote of confidence in Portlaoise that we are now expanding our company here.
