This significant extension is set to create 70 new jobs over the

The €14 million expansion project, which involves the
construction of a new building, includes a state-of-the-art
technology and training centre as well as testing laboratories and
customer experience centre that will enhance PennEngineering’s
capacity to meet the increasing demand for engineering fastening
solutions. The new jobs created will span a variety of roles,
including manufacturing, engineering, training and more, offering
diverse opportunities for local talent.
The expansion project is supported by the Irish Government
through IDA Ireland.
Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company
Regulation, Dara Calleary TD said: “I am pleased to welcome this

jobs as part of a major expansion project. Investments such as this
continue to advance Galway’s position, in particular, as a global
hub. I am pleased to welcome this announcement and wish
PennEngineering every success.”
“We are thrilled to expand our operations in Galway,” said Mary
Ann Fleming, President, PennEngineering Europe. “This investment
reflects our confidence in the potential for growth in the region
and our commitment to contributing to the local economy. We look
forward to welcoming new members to our team and continuing to
innovate in the world of fastening technology. Our on-site
manufacturing also continues to expand with the introduction of new
products, continuing our 82-year history of product innovation in
self-clinch fasteners. Supporting training and development of our
people and job creation are priorities for us, and this expansion
is key to this initiative. As part of this growth announcement, we
welcome the board of PennEngineering on site for their biannual
meeting and wish them well as they strategise for the future of our
global company.”
“Our long-standing partnership with Ireland and the IDA spans
over 20 years, and their support has been invaluable in fostering
the growth and development of our business in Europe,” according to
Pete George, PennEngineering CEO.
The expansion is expected to be completed by January 2025.
PennEngineering plans to begin the recruitment process immediately,
with job openings to be posted on the company’s website and local
