High-tech manufacturing is making its return to the midlands of Ireland. Mirror Controls International is to consolidate its European manufacturing operations into its Irish plant in Manorhamilton, Leitrim.
The move will generate 50 new jobs and the expansion of the existing facility. This investment is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland. Production is set to commence mid-summer.
