CD and DVD making company Zomax has announced the closure of its Blanchardstown operations with the loss of 98 jobs.
This follows its issuing protective notice to 100 of its 155 staff in Santry last month, following the decision by one of its customers to consolidate its outsourced activities with a different supplier.
The company has blamed competition from lower cost Asian and Eastern European operators for its difficulties here.
Zomax MD Paddy Burke said the closure was indicative of the global competitive landscape in which Irish based manufacturing must now attempt to operate.
Burke said he is confident of securing the future of the firm's Santry operations.
