50 new jobs are on the way to Limerick.
The jobs will come on stream over three years at US software company KEMP Technologies bringing its current Irish workforce to 80.
The company has seven offices worldwide, with Limerick heading up the European and Middle East region. Kemp Tech develops load balancers designed to help SMEs and Global Groups to optimise their e-commerce and online traffic capabilities. The company is investing in its plant at the National Technology Park in Plassey as part of the expansion.
"Choosing Limerick as KEMP's gateway to international Market expansion has turned out to be a tremendous success story for the company” said Ray Downes, KEMP Technologies CEO. “Since the first investment the intervening three years has seen an almost five times worldwide revenue growth and headcount increase. Our international business is now 45% of global revenues. Having recently raised expansion capital to take us through the next number of years it was an easy decision to build on the talent and leadership pool we already have based in Limerick. The bar is raised as the charter of the operation in Limerick will increase to include some global responsibilities in software development, QA, marketing and operational roles."
KEMP's clients include Audi, Hyundai, McMillan Cancer Research, English FA and RTE.
The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
