ICS Medical Devices has announced plans to create 100 jobs and to expand its new manufacturing and research and development facility in Galway.
The company moved into the premises in May 2022 and has decided to add a further 10,000 square feet to the facility to support continued growth.
ICS Medical Devices works with start-up medical device companies to develop catheter technologies for minimally invasive medicine.
The company has already begun recruitment to fill the new roles which include positions in engineering, research & development and manufacturing.
The expansion, planned for 2023, will add additional manufacturing and cleanroom space to existing operations.
"Our aim is to become the first-choice provider of contract design, development and manufacturing services for innovative start-up medical device companies throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the US," said Seamus Fahey, CEO and founder of ICS Medical Devices.
"We now plan to accelerate our growth momentum by significantly expanding our team, capacity, and capability," he added.
The jobs announcement was made at the official opening of the company's new Galway facility.
"ICS Medical Devices is an excellent Irish company delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable its customers to pioneer advancements in catheter technologies," said Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland.
"At Enterprise Ireland we are proud to have supported the company's growth momentum and global ambition since it was established only three years ago," he added.
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Leo Varadkar described the jobs announcement as a great boost to Galway and Ireland as a whole.
"This expansion and ICS Medical Devices' plans to invest even further is fantastic. I am confident the team will find top talent to fill the 100 new jobs planned, and indeed any further that come down the road," Mr Varadkar said.
