E-cigarette company to create 140 jobs at €5.2m production site

A company involved in the production of e-cigarettes is to create almost 140 jobs at a facility in Connemara.

Rossport Pharmaceutical will make the formal announcement on Monday in Cornamona, Co Galway, where the company is to locate a €5.2m production site.

The 138 jobs in Cornamona are being grant-aided by Údarás na Gaeltachta — Cornamona is an Irish-speaking community in the Gaeltacht — and will support operations across Ireland and Europe, where Rossport is already a leading producer and distributor of e-liquids and nicotine-containing products.
