Innovation Starts Here: MSD Ireland’s Commitment to All Ireland Growth
Samantha Humphreys
Managing Director, MSD Human Health Business, Head of the MSD Ireland Country Leadership Team
Operating from seven different locations across Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Meath and Tipperary, at MSD Ireland we are acutely aware that our cutting-edge network has benefited hugely from Ireland’s highly skilled talent, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and vibrant communities all throughout the country.
For us at MSD Ireland, these attributes are essential to driving innovation and advancing our mission to save and improve lives. From our manufacturing sites to our research and development facilities, our operations are strategically positioned to harness the unique strengths of each region we operate in, contributing to our success as a global leader in the pharmaceutical sector while also creating immense value for the local communities we work with.
Our business’ ongoing expansion and investment efforts across Ireland reflects our deep-rooted belief in the potential these communities have to offer. Whether it is through creating new jobs, supporting local suppliers, or partnering with educational institutions, we are committed to fostering sustainable growth that makes a positive difference for everyone involved. By investing in regional facilities, nurturing talent pipelines, and supporting our communities, we aim to create long-term benefits that extend far beyond our own business.
A notable example of this commitment is our recent announcement to expand into Dundalk, Co. Louth, through the acquisition of a new vaccines manufacturing facility. This strategic investment not only broadens our operational footprint but will also bring us to new heights when it comes to our capabilities to respond to the health challenges of today and tomorrow. The site will play a key role in supporting our global operations, thus further strengthening Ireland’s position as a hub for pharmaceutical excellence.
At MSD Ireland, we know the importance of regional investment extends beyond business needs; it drives economic resilience and enhances Ireland’s global competitiveness. Our network’s ongoing growth and success are a testament to what can be achieved when businesses and communities work together to harness the unique opportunities offered across Ireland’s regional innovation hubs, further enhancing Ireland’s position as a global leader in the life sciences sector.
By fostering innovation and partnerships, we have been able to drive economic growth, foster innovation, and improve health outcomes for people globally.
We can’t wait to see where the future will take us next – from MSD Ireland to the world.
By investing in regional facilities, nurturing talent pipelines, and supporting our communities, we aim to create long-term benefits that extend far beyond our own business.
