Galway's APW goes into receivership

The APW engineering company in Oranmore, Galway has gone into receivership with the loss of 135 jobs.

Workers are currently in a meeting with SIPTU representatives.

The company has been operating in Galway for the last 30 years with APW taking over operations seven years ago. It manufactures a wide range of electronic components.

In a statement, the company said that challenging market conditions was the reason for it going into receivership.

A spokesperson said the company would continue to trade as a business until all options were reviewed for the future.

Workers will receive notification of statutory redundancies next week.
