Tánaiste Mary Harney has announced that two companies in Tubbercurry, Co Sligo, 2R Kunststofftechnik and Reed Executive, are to expand their operations with the creation of 54 new jobs.
2R Kunststofftechnik is expanding its operation to manufacture a new range of specialised moulded plastic components for the automotive and other industries creating 24 new jobs over five years, bringing employment at the plant to 48.
Recruiter Reed Executive is expanding its administration centre to provide a range of service functions, such as payroll, financial management and software support, to its parent company. It will add 30 new jobs over three years to the four people already employed.
'The success of 2R Kunststofftechnik to-date is proof that the choice of Tubbercurry in 1998 as a location was a correct decision. It shows that regional locations can be attractive and successful for international businesses with specific needs,' said Tanaiste Mary Harney.
'Reed Executive, as a result of this expansion, will now be a significant employer in Tubbercurry and is an ideal project for this BMW location. Both of these expansions will make important increasing contributions to the town and surrounding area,' she added.
