Dublin jobs: US company Avantor creates 40 jobs with new distribution centre

US biopharmaceutical supplier Avantor is set to create 40 jobs with the opening of its new distribution centre in Dublin city centre.

Avantor provides mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences, advanced technologies and applied materials industries. The new distribution centre opened today in Dublin, and the company already employs 200 people in Ireland.

The new facility in Dublin is nearly 69,000-square-foot, and it is so far the most advanced distribution center in Avantor's global network. The Dublin site also has Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) warehousing, on-site clean rooms, and batch-to-batch traceability.

Sheri Lewis, Executive Vice President, Global Supply Chain Operations, said of the new site opening today: "Avantor's continued investment to expand our global footprint with on-site storage capacity and capabilities in Ireland strengthens our ability to provide essential products and services to the markets that need them.

"This cutting-edge center continues the capital investments we are making in our supply chain to meet growing global demand across all the end markets we serve," she added. The new facility in Dublin was welcomed by Irish Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Dara Calleary TD.

He said: "Avantor's expansion is a strong endorsement of Ireland as a world-leading hub for the life science and medtech sectors, which is built on the strength of our talented and skilled workforce along with our access to markets and pro-enterprise policy environment. I wish the team all the very best with this new chapter."
