Stainless steel company expands at new facility
SkidTek Engineering, which manufactures skids for the pharmaceutical, brewing and food industries, has a workforce of 40 that is set to increase to 60.
The company is a division of the 200-job Charleville-based BCD Group, one of several businesses set up in the Cork-Limerick region after the closure in the 1980s of Golden Vale Engineering, which left behind a pool of expertise and skilled labour.
SkidTek moved last November to the Ballysally Business Park.
Mr Martin said the project encapsulates where the Government wants Irish industry to go - to the high value end of manufacturing, design and service provision.
