New plant to create 60 jobs in Killarney
UP to sixty jobs are to be created in Killarney under phase one of the opening of a newly established Irish owned healthcare company.
The new company, Beocare Ltd, is located in the former Sara Lee facility in Killarney and already has a small number of start-up staff on site to help in the refurbishment and preparation of the Park Road premises.
But, according to Killarney Mayor Tom Doherty, this number will grow when the plant becomes operational in the next month.
The company will be involved in the research and development, manufacture and supply of advanced orthopaedic medical device products.
"It is very difficult to attract manufacturing to Ireland at the moment, but Killarney Town Council is very proud to have been involved in the negotiations to bring this company to the town," Mayor Doherty told The Kingdom.
"One of the best moves Killarney Town Council made was to take over the facility itself and cut out the middle man," he added.
"The IDA has so many other areas to look after but obviously the town council’s goal is to look after the citizens of Killarney and its environs.
"We are particularly happy that this is an indigenous company and we are proud to be supporting them entering the market," he added.
According to the Mayor the attention will now turn to attracting further industry to the former Sara Lee facility.
