Medical firm, Beckman Coulter, promising jobs boost for Mid-West

The Mid-West region is set for a jobs boost with US bio-medical company Beckman Coulter lodging expansion plans to accommodate an additional 105 staff at its Co Clare plant.

The company’s Irish plant is based in east Clare, 5km to the east of Tulla village, and currently employs 315 people.

New plans, lodged with Clare County Council, show the company is seeking to increase the capacity of its current reagent kit manufacturing operation and expand its product line.
