have2flushtwice · 2017-07-05 07:21:08

Alkermes (this was formerly Elan), Alexion, Ericsson, Covidien, KCI Manufacturing, Utah Medical and DPD among many others are all large employers in the town.

The why? Well Athlone is a large (in Irish terms anyway) town with a 3rd level institution, young workforce, is a regional capital and has excellent transport links.
