Pfizer invests €145m in Irish plant

GLOBAL pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is to invest €145 million on expanding its Dublin-based manufacturing facility, but is yet to decide if it will lead to any job increases.

The company employs 1,100 people at its Grange Castle site in Clondalkin, where it produces two of its main drugs, Enbrel and the infant vaccine, Prevenar 13.

The investment will add two new processing suites to the five-year-old facility and expand production levels and product testing capabilities.
