CELESTICA JOBS TO GO – 80 REDUNDANCIES

Following our previous post it has been announced that 80 jobs will go at the Celestica plant in Galway.

Celestica Ireland employs 380 at its manufacturing plant in Galway. Celectica is a canadian electronics firm which previously had operations in Dublin. Over the last week working hours have been cut for workers in the plant however a general meeting is due to take place to dicuss the future of the plant. Celestica has been struggling with the economic climate and recently closed a plant in the US with the loss of over 500 jobs.

Great news for the Connaught region with Thermo King announcing the creation of 19 new jobs. Thermo King designs and manufactures transport refrigeration equipment and currently employ 600 staff at its Galway city plant. Thermo King has been operating in Galway since 1976 so it is a well established employer in the region.

This new initiative will see Thermo King design and manufacture greener products for the EMEA markets. These environmentally friendly products will also be more cost efficient.

If I remember Celestica announced about 100 new jobs in Galway at the end of 2007 so this has been a positive period for Galway in the jobs front.
