The company in question has been in located in Navan, Co Meath for the past 40 years. The company employs approximately 100 people who operate the European shared services centre for the parent company.

Less than 8% of the work force is involved in the manufacture of four product lines. Two of these products are at end of life and the remaining two products are being outsourced to an existing Irish company (hence some of these jobs are remaining in Ireland). Staff currently employed in manufacturing are being offered redundancy by the company.

The company has confirmed that they are making a significant investment in their existing facility which they feel demonstrates a positive sign towards future company expansion and growth.
