Pfizer to create 200 jobs in expansion

Pfizer is set to create 200 new jobs with a €250 million expansion of its sterile manufacturing facility in Dublin.

The company was granted planning permission to extend the facility in Dublin’s Dún Laoghaire last week and is on the verge of completing the process of obtaining the necessary internal approvals before construction starts.

The new investment will double the number of people employed at the Dún Laoghaire facility, which has been in operation since 1972 and covers a 17-acre site. The plant is responsible for producing sterile vials that are used to store drugs for human use.
