Chanelle Group, the largest Irish-owned manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, will create 175 jobs in a major expansion of its operations.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny announced the new jobs during a visit to the company’s headquarters in Loughrea, Co Galway on Thursday.
Chanelle, which already employs 375 people, is making a €70 million investment that will double its production capacity and add to its research and development capabilities, as it looks to break into the US market for generic drugs.
