NYPRO HEALTHCARE HAS announced the creation of 100 jobs for their medical devices centre in Bray, Co Wicklow.
With the creation of 160 new jobs in the last 24 months together with today’s jobs announcement, it will bring Nypro’s total Irish workforce to 460 people.
The company has grown considerably since changing its focus in 2008 from the electronic industry to that of drug delivery and diagnostics.
Their client list includes some of the top pharmacy brands in the world, including eight of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies.
Nypro, which operates in 41 locations in 14 countries, employing over 17,000 people, has had a presence in Ireland since 1980.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny, together with Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton, made the jobs announcement today.
James O’Gorman, Vice President of Drug Delivery and Diagnostics of Nypro says they expanded in Ireland because it “has proven to be a very successful location” and they are “proud” to continue their work here.

Great news for my local community.
That is brilliant news for Bray!
They’re recruiting all over the country for the positions still this is fantastic news. I’d imagine we’ll be getting some new residents with a wage to spend. Bray has been turned into a ghost town during this financial crises, its sad to see so many local small business owners, who have been in business for years & have great, friendly reputations amongst the locals, pack it in simply because the business isn’t there.
In a local clothing shop in our town last week I heard the woman working behind the counter comment that they hadn’t made a sale over the phone to her manager or the store owner. That was 1 o’clock on a Saturday. Frightening considering we’re coming up to Christmas.
Wow.Amy is it to much to mention that Nypro are a U.S heathcare company investing here in Ireland.It is important to let the irish public know who is investing here,then just maybe Irish people won’t feel the need to burn the stars and stipes on the streets of Dublin..
Can see where your coming from but just because they’re from America and providing employment doesn’t mean we have to accept and agree with their foreign policies. Plus the low rate of tax over here is probably the main reason they’re increasing business, not cause they love the Irish so much.
Still great news though :)
I say just take the good news after a depressing budget week.
Good news is good :)
go bray ! yeehaw
Great news for the people of my home town.
I thought the budget was anti employment? Hrmmmmm. Anywho, jobs are jobs and in this day and age you welcome any creations! Gwan Ireland!
have your say
