Amgen plans 1,100 jobs for Cork
The energised and cohesive approach of the IDA, Enterprise, Trade and Employment Minister Micháel Martin, the National Roads Authority and Cork County Council was among the key factors which lured Amgen, the world’s biggest biopharmaceutical company, to Ireland. The company plans to create 1,100 jobs at Carrigtwohill between now and 2010.
The IDA have called a press conference to take place today at the Hayfield Manor Hotel, Cork, at which Mr Martin will formally announce the development which will be the largest industrial investment in the Cork area for close to 20 years. Top Amgen executives will also attend.
