Edwards, a Sussex-headquartered vacuum engineering company which provides services and solutions to the semiconductor industry, is to create up to 120 jobs in Dublin as part of a $7.5 million (€6.4 million) investment. The company is establishing a service technology centre in Blanchardstown that is essentially a remanufacturing operation designed to recycle used products and deliver them back to customers to full specification. The new 4,000sq m facility will use advanced automation and data solutions to disassemble, clean, inspect, repair, replace and reassemble vacuum pumps and abatement equipment. Edwards, which is part of the Nasdaq-listed Atlas Copco Group, is focused on the design, manufacture and support of high-tech vacuum and exhaust management equipment. The new investment is supported by IDA Ireland.
