Our History in Ireland
The Swords plant commenced manufacturing operations in 1964 and is one of the company's key suppliers of bulk pharmaceuticals. The bulk products are shipped to BMS finishing plants around the world where they are used as the key ingredients in the production of tablets, capsules and other healthcare treatments.
Over the last 40 years Swords Laboratories has maintained its focus as a world class manufacturing facility and Centre of Excellence in process research and development. Many of the corporation's new drug lines are launched at this plant. The Swords facility is the primary site within BMS for the scale-up and development of new processes. For this reason it is of strategic importance to the company. Its success is demonstrated by continued expansion since initial establishment of the chemical development facility in 1984.
Today over 400 people are employed at the Swords plant contributing over €40 million to the local economy in salaries as well as expenditure on local goods and services.
