West Pharmaceuticals expands Dublin operations with 330 new jobs. The pharmaceutical manufacturing company opened a new 165,000 square foot facility at its Damastown site, bringing total Irish employment to over 1,400 across Dublin and Waterford locations. The expansion strengthens West's capacity for high-volume injectable therapies, particularly GLP-1 treatments for diabetes and obesity management. The facility adds advanced automation and expanded drug-handling capabilities to complement existing component molding, device assembly, and packaging operations. This investment reflects growing global demand for complex injectable drug delivery systems and positions West as a critical partner in securing patient access to essential medicines through enhanced contract manufacturing services.
