Up to 150 new jobs could be created as a major expansion of a Longford-based US healthcare manufacturer is in the works.
Longford County Council is facilitating the expansion following its sale of the former Eircom site to support Technimark's growth in the region.
Technimark currently operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on the Ballinalee Road in Longford Town.
The Longford site has become one of the compary's three European hubs, alongside operations in the UK and Germany.
The former Eircom site was purchased by the council in May and Technimark's move into this new facility is said could generate between 120 and 150 jobs.
