€100million ADI investment endorses Limerick as location of choice for skilled workers

LIMERICK, Ireland Friday 4th March 2022: Today’s announcement by ADI to invest €100 million in a new 100,000 sq ft state-of-the-art innovation and collaboration facility at its Limerick campus is an endorsement of the pipeline of talented workers in the Mid West and Limerick’s ability to attract and retain skilled workers. 

Welcoming the announcement, Chief Executive of Limerick Chamber, Dee Ryan said,  ”Investment of this scale and the creation of 250 new jobs by ADI in Limerick is a resounding endorsement of our value proposition here in the Mid West for attracting both FDI’s and the hottest commodity, which is skilled talent. 

“Over many years ADI has actively contributed to the Mid West business community, taking a leading role in initiatives to improve the ecosystem and being recognised as Business of the Year in 2019 at the Linerick Chamber Regional Business Awards. 

“It has been one of the region’s biggest and best employers for 45 years which, gives it huge industrial heritage here. But today it is very much committing to the future, which speaks volumes about what is very much a mutually beneficial relationship between ADI and the Limerick region.

“We welcome this commitment from President and CEO Vincent Roche and his team, both globally and here on the ground. This significant investment and the addition of 250 new jobs to the Limerick campus will create a positive economic ripple throughout the region and is another very positive page in the growth story that Limerick has become.” 

Ms Ryan added: “Limerick has enjoyed incredible success over the past year or more in terms attracting inward investment and at a very difficult time. It is competing and winning this investment in competition with other European locations. Limerick Chamber will continue to collaborate with the IDA, who likewise deserve to be congratulated for their role in today’s announcement, as well as businesses, local government, our universities and other stakeholders to ensure we keep up this strong momentum.

“Our role in that is to advocate for the transport, housing and infrastructural solutions so that our members, the businesses and companies investing in this region, can continue to attract the talent to this region that has been a bedrock of our success in the Mid West.”
