Device design and manufacturing company Nypro plans to build a device manufacturing facility in Waterford, Ireland and, according to the company, will hire 200 workers to staff the new plant. Nypro’s capabilities include injection molding and assembly of plastic components for metered dose inhalers (MDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs). The facility will manufacture injectable devices in addition to inhalers.
Nypro Healthcare VP of Drug Delivery and Diagnostics James O’ Gorman commented, “Nypro Healthcare, a recognized leader in the development and manufacture of complex drug delivery and diagnostic devices, is delighted to announce the addition of a new facility in Ireland in Waterford. Nypro has operated in Ireland in Bray since 1980 and in recent years our healthcare business has grown significantly. Our latest growth phase is built upon the skills, work ethic, creativity and drive of our Nypro Ireland team.”
Nypro agreed to be acquired by US electronics manufacturer Jabil Circuit in February 2013.
