“Our mission in government is to get people back to work and rebuild the economy and a priority focus for me in the Department of Enterprise is to promote balanced regional development across the country.

“It is a win-win situation that will positively benefit our customers, our Masterflex brand, and the Mullingar workforce and economy.”

The jobs being created at the new Masterflex Bioprocessing facility in Mullingar are in the areas of process and medical device engineering, manufacturing, and logistics and supply chain.
