Local company to add some 60 jobs over two years

A growing Clara company could increase its workforce by some 60 personnel in the next two years, it has emerged.

The news follows the launch of the rebrand of Europharma Concepts to Innov8 LABS in Clara.

Local Fianna Fáil TD Barry Cowen has said he was honoured and humbled to be asked to officially launch the rebrand. The company originally produced oral healthcare products. In recent years it has broadened its range to include medical devices and cosmetics.

Deputy Cowen said he had witnessed at close quarters the birth and development of the company. He said its innovation and science based approach and its collaboration with Enterprise Ireland and various Technical Universities has helped to establish it as a leading manufacturer and exporter of quality products.

"I understand the company plans to grow its workforce from 105 to 165 over next two years as they develop new products.

"The company is now embedded in our local community offering jobs, relevant training and development to its employees. That community, county and region that I represent congratulate and thank the workforce, management and board of directors for that economic and social contribution to the area.''

The local Fianna Fáil TD concluded by providing assurances that the company will receive the continued support of Enterprise Ireland and wished the company continued success in its future endeavors.'
