Teleflex Medical OEM Expansion Project Underway at Limerick Facility

Limerick, P.A. Teleflex Medical OEM, a global leader in custom catheter fabrication, precision extrusion, and medical devices, is pleased to announce the expansion project for its facility in Limerick, Republic of Ireland is now well underway. The project includes a 21,000 square foot addition to boost manufacturing capacity as well as provide additional space for expanded engineering and R&D activities. The project will also bring upgrades and enhancements to existing operations.

The Limerick expansion is driven by accelerated global demand for Teleflex Medical OEM’s precision extrusion and leading-edge medical devices used in cardiology, neurology, radiology, urology, and other areas of medicine. The project is supported by the Irish Government with the aid of IDA Ireland, a government agency responsible for industrial development.

“Expanding our capacity will enable Teleflex Medical Limerick to continue our success and serve as a key partner with our OEM customers,” said Ed Boarini, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Teleflex Medical OEM. “Our business has been strengthened over the years with IDA support, and this is yet another example of how IDA Ireland helps us invest in the future.”

Teleflex Medical OEM anticipates the expansion project will increase its workforce by approximately 80 jobs over the next five years. Currently, 143 people are employed at the Limerick facility.
