Last week, we were delighted to welcome Emer Higgins, Minister of State for Business, Employment, and Retail, to Airmid Healthgroup’s world-class research facilities. The visit celebrated the relaunch of our cutting-edge allergen, microbiological, and virus laboratories, along with our advanced environmental testing chambers.
Minister Emer Higgins toured the facilities alongside Enterprise Ireland CEO Leo Clancy, emphasizing the strategic significance of airmid’s innovative contributions to the industry. airmid is committed to revolutionizing indoor air quality and ensuring the safe production of effective environmental air quality solutions worldwide. We play a pivotal role in assisting leading manufacturers like Alstom, Dyson, and Novaerus in developing, innovating, auditing, and differentiating their products, particularly for those with respiratory and pulmonary conditions.
Minister Emer Higgins commented: “I am delighted to support Airmid Healthgroup in relaunching its new suite of state-of-the-art facilities. Indoor air quality is an important factor in public health outcomes, largely because airborne allergens, toxins, and pollutants are not visible to the eye. These can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life and existing health conditions. Airmid healthgroup is an example of a company providing life-improving technology that supports Ireland’s broader commitment to R&D and scientific innovation.”
Our recent move to Citywest, Dublin, and the inauguration of our new laboratory facilities represent a major milestone. This relocation not only boosts our capacity for groundbreaking research and development but also demonstrates our dedication to expanding our global impact. We are looking forward to creating additional jobs in Ireland, reinforcing our commitment to scientific innovation and collaboration with Enterprise Ireland.
CEO of Enterprise Ireland, Leo Clancy, said: “Airmid Healthgroup is bringing innovation and adaptability to the critical area of indoor air quality across homes and workplaces. Enterprise Ireland is proud to support the company on its scaling journey and I’d like to congratulate the team on the opening of the state-of-the-art laboratories and environmental testing facilities here in Citywest. This company has gone from strength to strength, establishing a strong presence in international markets, creating and sustaining high-quality jobs here in Ireland, while continuing to invest in innovation. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to continuing to work with the company on their growth trajectory, improving outcomes for so many suffering from respiratory health issues right across the globe.”
