Заводы Edwards Lifesciences в Ирландии второй год подряд получили награду «Завод года»

Edwards Lifesciences’ manufacturing operations in Limerick and Shannon have been awarded the company’s global Plant of the Year Award for the second consecutive year. Selected from across Edwards Lifesciences' international manufacturing network, the Irish sites received the distinction for overall performance across operations, quality, safety, employee engagement and continuous improvement. Celebrating five years of business in Ireland, Edwards first established a presence in Shannon in 2018 before expanding into a purpose-built facility in Limerick, which now employs more than 600 people. The Mid-West campus manufactures advanced structural heart valve therapies that are supplied to patients around the world. The recognition reflects the dedication of the Limerick and Shannon teams to building a strong, safe and quality-focused workplace. Over the past year, employees completed more than 38,000 hours of training, submitted more than 2,000 ideas to improve how work is done on the manufacturing floor, with more than 1,000 improvements implemented. These efforts help support high standards in manufacturing and contribute to the reliable supply of Edwards technologies for patients worldwide. Emmet Kelly, Vice President & General Manager of Edwards Lifesciences Ireland, said, "Our consecutive recognition as Edwards’ Plant of the Year reflects the skill, commitment and teamwork of our team in Limerick and Shannon." "Every day, our team plays an important role in manufacturing technologies that improve the lives of patients around the world, and this company award reflects the care and quality they bring to that work.”
