Sanmina, a global provider of integrated electronic manufacturing solutions, has announced an expansion of its Fermoy medical facility in North Cork, expected to create up to 150 jobs.<\/p>\n
Recruitment is already underway for the \u201chighly skilled\u201d new jobs, with the completed facility expansion opened yesterday by Taoiseach Miche\u00e1l Martin.<\/p>\n
The expansion to the site is expected to further enhance Sanmina\u2019s capabilities for the finished medical device market.<\/p>\n

Mr Martin said: \u201cSanmina has been part of the community in Fermoy since 1989, home to its largest medical facility in Europe.\n <\/p>\n
\u201cThis expansion is a strong vote of confidence in the skills, talent and ability of the workforce in Cork and beyond, and of Ireland\u2019s continued attractiveness as a destination for international investment and a global leader in medical technology innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sean Moran, SVP of IMS Europe at Sanmina, said: \u201cThis expansion underscores Sanmina\u2019s long-term commitment to Fermoy and to Ireland as a centre of excellence for medical technology manufacturing.<\/p>\n

That combination has been central to our success and to supporting the growth of our customers in the global medical device marketplace while creating high-quality employment and opportunity in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
