€17m growth at Kerry drugs plant

ONE of the world’s top pharmaceutical companies has completed a €17 million expansion at its Irish operation.

Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin said the 27,000 sq ft extension at Fujisawa Ireland Limited’s plant in Killorglin, Co Kerry, would provide much-needed additional production space for the new operation.

The centre is a pharmaceutical finishing plant, which was established in 1991 with IDA Ireland support.
