Friday week will see the last of employees leave the Avara pharmaceutical plant in Shannon after talks between the IDA and United Metals to find a buyer failed.
A Swiss company is involved in talks with the IDA on the potential of investing in the Avara plant in Shannon after over 20 workers completed their service with the company in recent weeks.
Avara’s short-term future has been guaranteed as a buyer of the site has been secured which will keep workers in employment in Shannon until July while efforts are continuing to put long-term arrangements in place.
All 114 employees at Avara have been redundant while the workforce has set up a new company to maintain its supply to pharmaceutical companies.
