LETTERKENNY has been given a much-needed jobs boost with the announcement of 75 new jobs for the town.
The South Carolina-headquartered company is to invest in a 40,000 sq ft expansion of its Lisnennan facility.
The investment is supported by the Government via IDA Ireland.
Zeus Industrial Products is a developer and manufacturer of precision polymer extrusions, including specialist fluropolymer tubing solutions, for a range of industries.
Established in 1966, the company is privately held by the original founder Frank P Tourville and employs 1,200 people worldwide. The company established operations in Ireland in 2005.
“Our experience of doing business in Ireland has been a positive one,” said the company’s general manager for Ireland Séamus Hughes.
He said the decision to expand its operations here was due to growth in its customer base in Europe.
“We are very excited about our expansion plans and I look forward to finding the right calibre of staff to ensure our continued success here,” Mr Hughes added.
