Tipperary, Ireland – 15 February 2016 - Technopath Clinical Diagnostics (the “Company”), a global
leader in quality controls and software for clinical laboratories, today announced a significant expansion in manufacturing capacity to support the rapid growth of its world-leading Multichem and IAMQC product range.

The Company is investing €5m to more than treble its manufacturing capacity in Ballina, Co. Tipperary to meet growing international demand for its leading-edge test-consolidated range of quality controls and software for hospital and clinical laboratories. The products are used in over 5,000 laboratories in 110 countries globally and achieved Chinese regulatory approval during 2015. Minister Alan Kelly officially opened the facility today.

The expansion of the business will result in the creation of 60 new jobs over the next 2 years and a number of these positions have already been hired.

Said Minister Kelly, “Technopath Clinical Diagnostics deliver market-leading quality control diagnostic products to some of the world’s biggest laboratories. Its co-founder and CEO Malcom Bell with his team have developed a cutting-edge manufacturing facility here in Ballina that is producing world-leading quality control products for global hospital and clinical laboratories. This further investment will solidify the company’s position as a significant employer in Tipperary, strongly supporting the local economy. It demonstrates that, thanks to the business-friendly environment created by Government, world-class companies can emerge from relatively small towns like Ballina and create large scale high-value employment in manufacturing and R&D.”

Said Malcolm Bell, CEO “I am very proud to say that this significant expansion is the result of a combined effort by our team over the last 10 years to create a world-class range of third-party quality control products for the global healthcare market. Our range is best-in-class on a global scale and, having already experienced rapid growth over the past 18 months, we are now very confident about the future for our business. We are proud to have grown the business organically here in Tipperary and look forward to expanding our team over the coming years. This would not be possible without the support of Government and our local Minister, Alan Kelly TD, along with Enterprise Ireland who have facilitated our growth plans.”
