The company has already started hiring and will be looking to fill additional positions over the coming months, in areas such as installation, sales, and marketing.
Glenn Cotton, President, and CEO of Bath Fitter said, “Picking the right location as a base of operations is essential to the success of our expansion into Europe, the UK and beyond. Limerick felt like the right fit for so many reasons, from the talented local workforce to the well-developed international communication links that support this growing city. There’s a good reason that nine of the top 10 US tech companies have operations in Ireland.”
“Our first installer was hired almost immediately, followed soon after by the first commercial order,” said Michael Prendergast, vice-president of European Sales, Bath Fitter.
