TE Connectivity invests €5m in Galway medical prototyping centre

TE's Parkmore West site meets close to the complete worldwide demand for minimally invasive catheter metal shafts, such as coronary stents and neurovascular coils.

Medical technology firm TE Connectivity Corporation (TE) opened a new centre for prototyping medical devices at its existing manufacturing facility in the Parkmore West Business Park in Galway.

The American company said the new €5m centre will reduce development time by connecting engineers directly with customers and increasing the speed of medical devices to the market.
