Last week, Zeus published news of a €10 million investment in Ireland which will be made with the assistance of the Irish Development Agency (IDA). The announcement involves a 40,000 sq ft expansion to Zeus' Irish facilities, which is expected to take 3 years to complete along with the creation of 75 new manufacturing jobs in Letterkenny. This news is especially welcomed since Ireland is currently facing major budget cuts and high unemployment as ongoing effects of the financial crisis of 2009.
“The decision by Zeus to expand its operation in Letterkenny is testament to the availability of a highly-skilled workforce in the North West region. On behalf of the government, I look forward to providing continued support to Zeus as its Irish operation grows and develops.” Ireland Minister for Education Mary Coughlan TD.
Zeus CEO John Worley, Jr. has added, “Since we opened a facility in Ireland in 2005, we have seen tremendous growth in our European customer base. We are extremely excited about this expansion as we will be even more equipped to meet the demand for our products and services in this region.”
For Zeus Ireland employees, it is a confirmation of a job well done and an optimistic outlook for the future of Zeus' European business.
