Welcome news on job front as Limerick firm to create 50 posts

Jimmy Martin, chief executive of AMCS, said: “This is very good news for the company. We currently employ 50 highly skilled engineers and technologists in Limerick and the new investment will see an increase in our overall workforce to over 100 people by 2010. In 2008, 28% of our turnover came from export markets across Europe and the US. Aided by this investment we expect that figure to increase to 68% this year.”

Mr Martin said “pay-as-you-throw” technology, which has been used in Ireland for a number of years, is set to become a global standard to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and encourage more recycling.
