Pfizer Ringaskiddy

50 years ago, Pfizer led the way by becoming the first pharmaceutical multinational to locate in Ireland – opening its doors in Ringaskiddy in Cork in the summer of 1969. Since then Pfizer in Cork has since grown to become one of the region’s biggest employers, and one of the largest Pharmaceutical sector investors in the region. Following Pfizer’s lead, many other companies were encouraged to locate in Cork creating a vibrant Pharma “Hub” in the region.

Many of Pfizer’s leading and newest medicines are manufactured for global export from the Cork site. And with innovation as a core principle in Cork, we have succeeded in delivering new medicines to patients faster than ever before.

Pfizer Ringaskiddy produces and exports bulk pharmaceuticals from Pfizer’s pipeline. The site also scales up new products in co-operation with Pfizer Global Research and Development to ensure timely approval and launch of these new products to meet patient needs.
