Sterling Engineering intends to generate 50 job opportunities in Galway through the establishment of its EMEA HQ in Galway City. The company specialise in outsourced engineering services for manufacturing companies in sectors like medical technologies, life sciences, automotive, food and beverage industries.

This project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

Dolores Connolly, chief executive officer, Sterling Engineering, said: “We chose Ireland as the location of our EMEA HQ because of the country’s commitment to attracting industry leading technology and manufacturing companies. The ecosystem of universities and research clusters working together to foster engineering talent and innovation aligns well with Sterling’s capacity to support clients to scale their production and manufacturing needs.

“Ireland is home to several existing multinational clients that have encouraged us to expand our geographic footprint to continue providing world class engineering services to their locations in the EMEA region. This expansion to Europe also broadens Sterling’s exposure to new prospective clients looking for full scale project management services across a number of industries.”

Michael Lohan, chief executive officer, IDA, said:  “EMEA is an important territory for Sterling, and its decision to locate in the West will strengthen the region’s well established technical and engineering ecosystem.”
