Boston Scientific €30m unit to secure future of 600 jobs

BOSTON Scientific is to seek planning permission for a €30 million development in Cork designed to secure the future of 600 jobs in the city.

The 100,000sq ft unit will be developed by Boston on their Model Farm Road campus but will be operated by Stryker — who earlier this year purchased Boston’s neurovascular unit for €1.45 billion.

The 600 Boston Scientific workers employed in the Cork unit will transfer to Stryker and relocate production to the new clean room production facility when it is completed.
