Pfizer’s new €75m facility set to produce heart disease medication
The new plant, which will employ 40 people when fully operational, will bring the company’s total workforce in Ireland to more than 2,200.
It will produce an ingredient for drugs that will be used to treat heart disease by improving the levels of a positive cholesterol agent in the blood. Speaking at the opening ceremony for the new plant yesterday, Enterprise, Trade and Employment minister Micheál Martin said that Pfizer’s latest investment demonstrated the high esteem in which Ireland was held by major drug companies.
