Work begins on new Sligo manufacturing facility

Construction has begun on the new Ward Automation state of the art manufacturing facility in Sligo. The new factory is on a greenfield site in IDA Ireland’s Business and Technology Park and will give the company the modern facilities it needs to continue to grow.

Ward Automation continues to develop innovative and industry-leading automation solutions for the top medical device, pharmaceutical, and high-end manufacturing companies in Ireland and abroad. The expansion is a result of the increasing demand for its innovative automation solutions.
“We are proud to be part of the growth of the local economy and excited to be making this investment,” said John Ward, Managing Director of Ward Automation. “Our employees are highly committed in creating innovative, high-quality machines for our customers to help them produce life-saving medical products.”

The new manufacturing facility in Sligo is scheduled to open in June 2019.
