Optel Vision to create 140 jobs with expansion in Limerick, Ireland

Optel Vision, which specializes in the development and manufacture of Track & Trace vision inspection systems, has announced plans to create 140 new jobs in Limerick as part of a major expansion plan.

Optel will establish an EMEA manufacturing and operations center at the former ON Semiconductor facility at Raheen Business Park.

This expansion, which is supported by IDA Ireland, represents Optel Vision’s first operation and engineering service outside of North America, as it moves to build up its presence in the European market.

The roles will be created over three years in engineering, design, assembly, testing, customer support, sales, HR, finance, and administration activities.

Initially the company will hire project engineers and technicians with a mechatronics background to deliver its Track & Trace solutions.

“Design and Integration of our solutions required a lot of highly skilled persons. Ireland is offering us this unique opportunity in finding motivated and trained resources ready to support our European customers. With the urgency to ensure public safety against counterfeited products, our Ireland operation will position us to be the leading supplier in Europe delivering best quality solutions,” says Louis Roy,Optel’s Chief Executive.
