Jobs Minister Richard Bruton today announced that Mafic Ireland Limited  will create 70 jobs over the next three years with a multi-million Euro investment in their new production facility in Kells, Co. Meath, under the Succeed in Ireland Initiative.

The Succeed in Ireland Initiative is part of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, and is implemented by ConnectIreland.

Mafic is in the process of establishing a basalt fibre production facility in Kells Business Park. The facility will become Mafic’s manufacturing centre of excellence and production headquarters. The new jobs will be in the areas of General Management, Shop Floor Managers, General Operatives and Administrative Staff.

Making the announcement, Minister Bruton said:

The innovative Succeed in Ireland initiative is about marshalling all the resources of our community and our diaspora to tackle the jobs crisis and attract new multinational companies who would not otherwise come to Ireland.

Through local connections and with support from my Department through IDA Ireland, a manufacturing facility which otherwise would have gone elsewhere in the world is coming to employ people off the live register in a regional town which would ordinarily struggle to attract multinational investment. I commend all involved.
