Sixty five new jobs have been announced for the new Galway manufacturing facility of German company phenox GmbH.
The company is to establish a new medical device manufacturing plant, in a development supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland.

The company's products are used by endovascular specialists for the interventional treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and include mechanical thrombectomy devices, flow diverters and bifurcation aneurysm implants, as well as access and support devices.
The company is locating its new facility at the Kamrick Court Building in Ballybrit Business Park, Galway, and will complete a customised fit-out to enable the commencement of operations in early 2016. The Galway facility will significantly enhance the company's existing product development and manufacturing location in Bochum.
Speaking at the announcement in Galway today Minister for Jobs, Richard Bruton, said: "Life sciences is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and over the past four years we have put in place a range of measures to support jobs growth in this area, including the establishment of a national health innovation hub to support the growth of Irish companies in this area.
"Today's announcement that phenox, a leading German manufacturing company in this area, is establishing a new facility in Galway and creating 65 jobs is an important boost for the West. We will continue to work hard to attract further investments from companies like this in the West in the coming years."
