Electronics company Sanmina-SCI is to create up to 50 new jobs through a €30m investment in its facility in Fermoy, Co Cork.
Based in the US, the company makes a variety of products - including ventilators and monitors - for the medical industry.
Sanmina-SCI says the investment is aimed at transforming the Fermoy plant into a manufacturing and design centre of excellence for the medical industry.
The Fermoy facility currently employs 400 people, and the investment will set up a research and development centre to develop and design new processes and products. IDA Ireland is supporting the move.
