Kinsale main launch site for Eli Lilly
Eli Lilly and Company chairman, chief executive officer and president John C Lechleiter told the Irish Examiner the company is very pleased with the results of the €500 million investment it has made in its Dunderrow facility in Kinsale over the last five years.
“We intend to have Kinsale as our primary launch site for all our new products. In making that decision we are really betting on the talent, we are betting on the environment that has been helpful and welcoming. We’ve had a very good relationship with the IDA over the years. We’ve had an excellent relationship with universities none more so than UCC where we had joint research programmes, sponsored post-doctoral students, done internships,” he said.
