Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has expanded its direct presence in Ireland with the founding of a new division “Micro-Epsilon Ireland Limited”. The new company is located in the Dublin region and is headed by Regional Sales Manager, Robert Redmond. The new office will look to provide customers in the Republic of Ireland with local support, sales and precision test facilities. In addition to serving the Republic of Ireland, the company will also be responsible for sales, service and support of customers in Northern Ireland.
Chris Jones, Managing Director of Micro-Epsilon UK & Ireland comments: “Manufacturing is one of the high performing segments of the Irish economy, with clusters of world class manufacturing operations in sectors such as electronics, food production, medical technology and biopharmaceuticals. Our new premises in Dublin, which will be closely supported and facilitated by the Micro-Epsilon UK team, will allow us to better serve our customer base in Ireland with faster response times, a better quality service and the ability to place orders directly with an Irish company.”
Ireland’s level of employment in high-technology manufacturing, as a share of total employment, is now the highest in the EU, with 29% of manufacturing jobs in high technology sectors (source: Manufacturing in Ireland - IBEC). This is four times the EU average. Overall, there are 260,000 people employed in the Irish manufacturing sector, accounting for more than 12% of total employment in the economy.
Robert Redmond adds: “I am incredibly grateful to begin this journey with Micro-Epsilon Ireland. As an industry leader in precision measurement systems, Micro-Epsilon is at the forefront of innovation, and I am truly honoured to be part of the team bringing their cutting-edge products to the Irish market.
