In October 2019, Thermo Fisher Scientific acquired the Cork facility for the manufacture and supply of pharmaceutical ingredients to clients across the globe.
Employing over 450 people, its active pharmaceutical ingredients are used in clinical trials and approved medicines in the treatment of cancer, Parkinson’s disease, depression, HIV, diabetes, and congestive heart failure.
“When Thermo Fisher Scientific acquired the Cork site, it was a very different world. In the space of just several months, the way we work changed significantly,” says Carol-Anne Sheehy, site operational excellence lead.
