Freudenberg Medical celebrates opening of manufacturing facility

Freudenberg Medical, a global design and manufacturing partner for minimally invasive medical devices, has announced the creation of 100 new jobs, as it marks the official opening of its newly expanded facility in Galway, Ireland.

The company, which is part of the Freudenberg Group, celebrated the official opening of its expanded facility at an event attended by Dr. Mohsen Sohi, CEO of the Freudenberg Group.

The newly opened facility increases Freudenberg Medical’s existing manufacturing footprint in Galway by 50% while the newly announced jobs will increase staffing levels by 25%, bringing total staff numbers in Galway to 400 within the next 18 months. The new roles include positions in engineering, research and development, manufacturing operations, quality and support services. Recruitment for the newly announced positions at Freudenberg Medical is already underway.

The expansion is a strategic move to meet soaring global demand for the company's critical metal components used in minimally invasive surgery catheters. It also positions Freudenberg Medical to develop increasingly complex products to serve its global customer base.
