AbbVie To Expand Its Operation In Sligo

AbbVie has announced it is to invest €40 million to expand its facility in Ballytivnan, Sligo.

Fine Gael TD for Sligo/Leitrim, Tony Mc Loughlin TD, welcomed the news.

He said: "AbbVie launched in Sligo in 2013 with the creation of 75 new jobs and since that time the company has gone from strength to strength.

"Sligo has proven to be an excellent location for AbbVie, where they produce drug delivery devices, including a pen-style injector used for a range of auto-immune conditions. Indeed the North-West of Ireland as a whole is quickly becoming a centre of excellence for technological expertise and life sciences.

The site employs a highly skilled workforce specialising in the disciplines of science and engineering, with 80 percent having a third level qualification ranging from degree to Ph.D. level."
