VistaMed will open its new research and development facility - and is also expanding its manufacturing plant in Carrick-on-Shannon by a further 45,000 sq ft.

Managing Director of VistaMed Patrick Mulholland said: "This new Research & Development facility will allow us to further enhance the rapid project ‘turnaround’ times currently experienced by VistaMed’s global customer base. Combined with the addition of sophisticated equipment, this will enable us to continue to offer a world-class service to the global medical device industry and expand our talented technical resources."
