70 new jobs have been announced at Irish automation company SimoTech
The jobs will come on line at the Carrigaline company over the next two years.
20 of the jobs will support SimoTech's overseas work including a contract in Singapore working with a large vaccine provider.
The company has doubled their staff numbers in the last three years and trebled their revenue to €14 million in 2020.
SimoTech CEO Pat Desmond says they plan to expand to other countries in the coming years:
“These new roles are just the first step, as we look at expanding our footprint in the years ahead across Europe, the US, and Asia, while still building from Cork. By embracing smart manufacturing technology, we are now able to provide 24/7, remote services to our clients, anywhere in the world. During the pandemic, that allowed these corporates to keep their plants operating, even when site visits were not possible due to restrictions. By providing these vital services remotely, we are also able to expand our business abroad while still supporting job creation at home in Ireland.”
