Engineering firm BCD has renewed its commitment to its base in Cork following the completion of a €10m investment that funded the expansion of its base in Charleville.

The project marks the company’s 40th year in operation in Cork. During this time, it has become one of the largest employers in the area and has secured contracts with Big Pharma multinationals including Pfizer, Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca as well as agreements with other firms such as Carbery, Dairygold, Danone, Tírlan and Irish Distillers.
