Griffdon Engineering to create 48 new jobs in Ballaghaderreen
Griffdon Engineering, a family-run electrical engineering company, is to create 48 new jobs at its headquarters in Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
Griffdon already employ 350 people and provides services to semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors, and ICT firms involved in data centre construction.
The creation of the new jobs is being supported by Enterprise Ireland's Company Development Fund while Leirim based not-for-profit Future Cast helped to secure the Funding.
The company's growth is expected to boost local employment and enhance skills in the electrical service and maintenance sector.
It also aims to capitalise on the growing need for support among multinationals in the tech, pharmaceuticals and agrifood industries.
Griffdon Engineering is led by Managing Director Seamus Griffin and EHS Director Elayne Griffin, the son and daughter of company founders Martin and Mary Griffin.
The siblings took over the running of the company in 2017. Since then, the company has grown considerably, taking on large scale projects in Ireland and across Europe.
Director of Griffdon Engineering Seamus Griffin said Enterprise Ireland has paid a pivotal role in supporting Grifdon to reach this milestone in the company's growth.
"Enterprise Ireland's commitment to fostering innovation and strengthening Irish enterprise has empowered businesses like ours to invest with confidence, create high-quality employment, and contribute meaningfully to our regional and national economy," said Mr Griffin.
"This is a proud day for Griffdon Engineering, for Ballaghaderreen, and for the wider community. We are excited to build on this momentum and look forward to what we can achieve—together."
