Galway Bay fm newsroom - Biomerics, a leading medical device contract manufacturer has announced the opening of a centre of excellence in Galway, with the creation of 40 jobs.
This is the firm's first facility in Europe and the second facility outside the United States after Costa Rica.
The new facility in the city will become home to a growing team dedicated to the development and manufacturing of balloons and balloon catheters, with 40 jobs over the next five years.
The new office will be located at Liosban Business Park.
