Apple is opening a new European engineering and test facility at its Cork campus.
The company says it has invested tens of millions of euro to transform a former warehouse, acquired in 2020, into a state-of-the art facility.
A team of engineers and technicians will be based at the site using high-tech equipment such as CT scanners and electron microscopes to test and analyze Apple products for the whole of Europe.
Apple has maintained the original warehouse structure of the building but the interior has been redesigned with most of the 300 strong team who worked on the construction local to the Cork campus.
The company says the new testing facility is the first of its kind in Europe.
"The opening of this new facility demonstrates Apple's ongoing investment in advancing skills and capabilities in Cork, adding new roles and enhanced facilities across several business units and teams," according to a statement from Apple.
The company currently employs around 6,000 people in Cork.
