Uponor jobs go north following sale of premises

SIXTY jobs in the Cork-based plastics firm Uponor are to go to the North following the sale of its premises to a Cork-based development firm, believed to be O’Flynn Construction.

The confirmed sale is believed to have netted a sum of €25 million gross for the Finnish firm.

The loss of the Cork jobs is laid at the door of a property play, as the company posted healthy profits for Ireland last year.
