Investment boost for Cork firm Zenith

A Cork automation technology company is aiming for further growth after one of the world’s biggest pharmaceuticals bought a stake in it.

GE Healthcare made what it called a “minority investment” in Zenith Technologies, which was founded in Cork in 1998.

The US giant already had an existing partnership with the Ringaskiddy-based firm, which has doubled its global workforce to 700 in the past two years, before making the investment.
