An Irish software development company is to open its global technical and support headquarters in Limerick, creating 100 jobs over the next three years.
AMCS, which specialises in providing technology to the waste and recycling industry, is opening the facility in Ballysimon.
The company, which was founded in 2003, already employs 450 people in ten different countries, including 110 employees in Limerick.
Jimmy Martin, CEO and founder AMCS said: "This new facility is critical for our continuing expansion and provides us with the capacity to increase our Limerick team by up to one hundred people over the next three years in the areas of product development, sales and global customer support."
Minister of State for Trade, Employment and Business Pat Breen welcomed AMCS expansion.
Mr Breen, who opened the new facility this morning said: "The growth of AMCS into a global leader of integrated software and vehicle technology for the recycling, waste and resource industries is an example of the dynamic software sector in Ireland and I would like to congratulate them on their wonderful new facility.
"I welcome their expansion in the region and wish them every success in their future operations."
