DexCom breaks ground on new manufacturing facility in Ireland

DexCom has officially broken ground on its new manufacturing facility, located in Athenry, Co. Galway. This marks the first step in the realization of this facility, which will bring more than 1,000 jobs to the area and represents one of the biggest single private sector investments ever in the West of Ireland. Dexcom’s first manufacturing facility in Europe will ensure the flow of products throughout EMEA, with the potential to lower the cost of goods and improve sustainability by decreasing delivery time in transit. The new facility will have the capacity to produce millions of Dexcom rtCGM sensors each year, helping to improve the lives of people with diabetes in EMEA. Dexcom is also further demonstrating its long-term commitment to Europe, and specifically the West of Ireland by announcing a 12-year naming-rights partnership with Connacht Rugby. From today, ‘The Sportsground’ will be known as ‘Dexcom Stadium,’ which has been the home of Connacht Rugby since 1927.
