Westermo has formally opened a new site in Dublin, announcing plans to hire across a range of engineering, research, supply chain, and support roles.
The expansion of Westermo’s R&D and supply chain centres of excellence in Dublin includes plans to hire 50 employees over the next three years and will be supported by the Irish government through IDA Ireland.
Having previously operated as Virtual Access, which was acquired by Westermo in 2019 – the Dublin team have been designing, developing, and manufacturing in Ireland since 1996.
Jenny Sjödahl, president and CEO of Westermo parent company Ependion, said: “This investment is a critical part of Westermo’s investment commitment to the market for large-scale remote access technologies where quality and reliability capabilities are so essential. The closeness of our development-and deployment-teams in Dublin demonstrates how deep technical expertise and support is such a great foundation to securing strategic long term framework agreements in critical infrastructure markets right across the globe.
“As a leader in our segment, we are proud to invest in technologies that play a key role in important societal infrastructure such as trains, railways, energy production and electricity distribution. There is a wealth of talent in Ireland, and we are excited to be able to invest in the engineers of the future.”
Mary Buckley, executive director, IDA Ireland, said: “The expansion of Westermo to grow their R&D and supply chain teams here is most welcome and Ireland is an ideal location in terms of availability of talent. Westermo’s focus on minimal environmental impact through sustainably operated networks is a great development in the area of green energy. I wish the team continued success here.”
