Complete Laboratory Solutions (CLS) has announced plans to create up to 140 jobs at its Galway City facility over the next three years, bringing its total workforce to 400.<\/p>\n
This follows a \u20ac9m upskilling programme at CLS, supported by IDA Ireland, which has accelerated the company’s transformation from a successful medium-sized enterprise into a fully Irish-led multinational.<\/p>\n
CLS is Ireland’s largest privately-owned contract laboratory and its customers are in the pharmaceutical, medtech, food and environmental sectors. It was set up 30 years ago.<\/p>\n
Recruitment for the new positions across all experience levels including new graduates spanning science, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, engineering and business analytics will begin immediately, the company said.<\/p>\n
“This marks one of the most exciting phases in CLS’s journey, as we scale from a national success story to a global player,” said Evelyn O’Toole, founder and CEO of CLS.<\/p>\n
“Our \u20ac9m investment in people and capability is enabling us to deliver end-to-end solutions in quality assurance, lean transformation, and quality control laboratory services; supporting clients at every stage of their lifecycle,” the CEO said.<\/p>\n
“This strategic expansion reflects both the evolving needs of industry and our ambition for sustainable growth. With new capabilities, accelerators, and a highly skilled workforce in place, CLS is well-positioned to drive innovation and resilience across dynamic, fast-moving sectors,” she added.<\/p>\n
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland said the strategic expansion of CLS in Galway, creating 140 new jobs, highlights Ireland’s commitment to fostering innovation and growth.<\/p>\n
“Our supportive business environment and highly skilled talent pool continue to attract significant investments,” Mr Lohan added.<\/p>\n
Minister of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke said that Complete Laboratory Solution’s very welcome announcement is a powerful endorsement of Ireland’s life sciences sector and the talent that drives it.<\/p>\n
“The creation of 140 new high-value roles in Galway reflects not only CLS\u2019s remarkable growth journey but also the strength of our innovation ecosystem,” the Minister said.<\/p>\n
“This strategic expansion, supported by IDA Ireland, demonstrates how Irish-led enterprises can scale while continuing to invest locally,” he added,<\/p>\n
Minister for Social Protection and Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht Dara Calleary TD said the new jobs marked a story of success, where a medium sized business enterprise has transformed into a fully Irish-led multinational organisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Complete Laboratory Solutions (CLS) has announced plans to create up to 140 jobs at its Galway City facility…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[138,232,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-54540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jobs","tag-business","tag-jobs","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
