There are many successful businesses that have chosen to invest in Dundalk.  Here’s what they have to say:

“We did an analysis of our staff in our Dublin office and there was a high proportion of staff living north of the city so Dundalk was an obvious location for us.  Also in relation to our clients – many of them are international - so the proximity to Dublin Airport and also Belfast Airport was a benefit in addition to the M1 road link made the local infrastructure in Dundalk very helpful for us.” Eric McCarthy, Daiwa Securities Global Asset Services, Dundalk

“Dundalk is the preferred location because of the Dundalk Institute of Technology’s large pool of graduates, with specialities in accounting and business studies, and its willingness to work with Daiwa on specialist graduate programmes. The decisive factors were, the advantages of a regional location in attracting staff; the availability of a suitable premises; the infrastructure in the region and the support provided by IDA Ireland.” Shuji Nishiyama, CEO, Daiwa Securities Global Asset Services, Dundalk

“ABB is a large international organisation and just recently we’ve celebrated 25 years of business in Dundalk.  As part of the network we have many multicultural organisations within the organisation. People come as far as China and Indonesia and America on the other side.  For that we need good communication and I think Dundalk, as part of the Gateway structure, has those excellent facilities.”  Tom O’Reilly, Global Manager, ABB, Dundalk

“We can attract people in from North Dublin and Belfast too.  We have two members of our management team who commute no problem.  It’s actually easier than going across Dublin so in terms of attracting people from outside of Dundalk, there seems to be no problem with this location at all.” Joanna Gardiner, Ovelle Pharmaceuticals

 “We chose Dundalk over other locations in Europe as it best suits our skills and infrastructure requirements.  The Irish operation will better serve existing customers and grow our customer base in EMEA, build higher specification cameras for EMEA and US markets and act as the springboard for further EMEA success and expansion.” Jiping Wu, Board Chairman, SATIR, Dundalk
