200 new jobs for Waterford in Nypro

spankmemunkey

Just heard the news today, great news really great news for Waterford, 200 new jobs in Medical Device production based in the IDA Park, just accross from Whitfield wonder is that a strategic position? ha!

Very happy for Waterford today, long time coming and i hope this helps the economy and alot of families in difficulty. lets hope its the start of a new investment phase!

What I like about it is that they were here before and decided to come back. It puts pay to this bull that you get that there is something wrong with Waterford. You don’t come back to a place a second time and invest €60 million if there is something wrong with a place.

Investment wise there is certainly nothing wrong with Waterford. Plenty of IDA parks, proximity to a port and a great road network linked to the city. Brilliant to see investment and may there be much more to come in the future

Good news. Even better that it seems from a number of articles that the 200 figure will increase as the years go on.

I hope it gets plenty of media coverage and that in turn will lead to further investment.

Does anybody know if that IDA Park has many free units in it?

Id like 6.1 news to do a coverage of waterford and investment in waterford and the lack of it and the need for it etc etc, being one of the worst hit counties i think we need all the leg ups we can get!

I worked for them for 2 years when they were here back in the early 2000's and they were great to work for, i never had any issues with them at all!!

It was a pity to see them pack up and head to south america but it was costing them too much here compared to what they were getting it done for over there!!

delighted to hear someone is investing in Waterford

I wonder will those who were laying into to coalition for not 'doing anything for Waterford' will be as loud in their praise for their efforts to secure these jobs?

No, I thought not.

Did the government create the 200 jobs or something, i thought it was Nypro.

Well, if they are moving back into their old premises, and as was mentioned earlier, that they have a new contract with Bausch and Lomb, then I wouldn't be too confident it was much to do with the coalition, or even any other ourside organisation.

EXACTLY.

The government gets all the blame when places close, or nobody arrives, and they get no credit when places open.

With such a stupid electorate, why would you expect good government? Irish people only want easy answers.

Yup. It's Enda's fault when companies leave, and not to his credit when they arrive.

Typical Irish voter attitude.

Stanley are in the old hp chemie building and are just using the old nypro site as storage and there definitely moving out of there, so could be they're going back in there.

I wonder will they look to rehire former employees, or give them any priority?

I thought they were already accepting applications? Maybe they will come on stream gradually though.

Correct its the attitude of a voter from waterford who feels his county is being decimated and a government doing nothing but aiding its decimation with the treat over WRH, miss information to downgrade our city, moving vec office to Wexford, this is the first big jobs announcement in waterford for a long time while we saw other counties a jobs boost.
Seems to me the your beloved government are very slow to help waterford for some reason, 200 jobs today granted but still about 14,000 to create,

The problem is, twistables, that a lot of FG fanboys jump on these types of threads. Always.

He is quite good at pointing fingers at another former government party... Didn't quite do much in opposition did he? but what would I know I'm a stupid electorate, and only want easy answers/life
PS. NO Voter/FAN Of Bertie/Brian either

Getting back to Nypro how long were they here Last time in early 2000's?
Did they have a big operation?

Is that any different to the other side sticking the knife in over in the negitive threads?

I miss the days when this forum when this was for discussion of current events or banter and people left political bias in the politics forum.

So many threads get highjacked by politics. It can be so irritating.

Bit of a typo on the RTE website
"The company is investing €60 in the Waterford facility, with the jobs coming on stream over the next two years."
They've screwed us over :D:D

You need qualifications for all the jobs .. very high end jobs I was hoping that some they could train you up

hellfireie

Surely there will be some entry level jobs in them 200 not all top level.

jad2007

The jobs that are being posted are whats needed in early stages to set up manufacturing e.g engineers and managers.

Once the fit out is complete they will need a variety of roles filled.

Theres surely production jobs going, same as the likes of the jobs that are filled in Genzyme and Baush and Lomb, They will hire production operatives that will be trained on the job, I suppose they will be bring production staff with them from wexford or where ever to get them off the ground!

After seeing a BBC1 panorama investigates about theatre operating tools being made at the side of the road in pakistan and india i will be glad to see them being made INDOORS in Waterford, The tricks they get upto to certify the instruments being made in Germany is unreal, they buy metal thats mixed into their own metal at 2 percent say the 2 percent is from germany they stamp the tools made in germany then, the practice is thought to be one of the major reasons for the spread of MRSA, must find a youtube link if im allowed

I suppose all the employees who were laid off a few years ago will get first preference on the jobs.

pwurple

Excellent news. High quality well paid jobs, plus the local resources they will probably employ for cleaning, landscaping, canteen etc.

Delighted that there is positive news for a change and a significant jobs boost for our great city. Thank You Nypro and the IDA for considering and choosing Waterford.

FG fanboys? WTF? Why would a fanboy suggest that the current government isn't great due to our crap electorate? The coalition (it's not an FG government, just so you know) got in because people thought they could vote away national bankruptcy. Now that they learn they can't, they are swinging back towards the corrupt fools who bankrupted us in the first place.

Waterford is just a microcosm of the whole country - we need to stop looking for easy answers, regardless of whether those easy answers are coming from Labour or FG or (more usually) FF.

Anyway, apologies to all for going O/T with this on what should be a positive thread.

The majority of employees were laid off in 2004 (9 years ago), with the rest going the following year. Most (including me) will have moved on to other things by now.

Besides, the jobs announced today are for a completely different product (medical devices vs printer cartridges). Can't imagine there'd be much benefit to them hiring former employees.

Any guesses as to what the general ops wages will be like? Could we hope for something as high as €11 or €12 per hour?

Pharmaceutical so I'd certainly imagine so. I wonder how skilled the work force Will have to be for the majority of the jobs. With so many former manufacturing staff out of work I'll say they'll put some team together
