EI Electronics To Expand Its Workforce

Fine Gael Clare Senator, Martin Conway, has welcomed the announcement by EI Electronics in Shannon that it is to expand its workforce to 500 this year.

Mr Conway said: "I am delighted that EI Electronics has decided to expand its operation in Shannon with the creation of 70 jobs. This will have a direct benefit on a large number of individuals and their families. It is also a real vote of confidence in Clare and the wider region, as a place to do business.

"EI Electronics is a leading fire safety products developer and manufacturer and already employs some 430 staff in Shannon and contributes around €30 million to the local economy each year.

"This expansion will make a significant difference to the wider region, and will undoubtedly lead to additional jobs being created in connected industries. The success of the workforce in EI Electronics is also proof that our indigenous companies can prosper and thrive."
