County Carlow Chamber welcomes Jobs Announcement by MSD

Aug 23, 2022

County Carlow Chamber welcomes this morning’s announcement by MSD Ireland on the creation of an additional 100 jobs here in Carlow at their site on the Dublin Road.

MSD Carlow has been a ground-breaking site since opening its doors in 2008 as the first vaccines facility outside of the US for the company.  The new facility will not only be state of the art but will set the standard by being the first of its kind globally.  This ongoing commitment to Carlow and the continued investment in state-of-the-art facilities is a huge endorsement of the skills, talent and wider community.

Brian O’Farrell, CEO of County Carlow Chamber commenting on the announcement said, ““The announcement by MSD Ireland of further investment in Carlow as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its manufacturing capabilities to meet increased global demand, creating over 100 new permanent jobs and employing up to 700 people during construction provides a strong endorsement of Carlow.”

“It shows confidence in Carlow, as the gateway to the south which offers an excellent quality of life.  Our highly educated, and distinctively young population, together with an experienced workforce with deep skills across a wide range of sectors, and supported by the Technological University of the South East.”
