Lilly’s first investment in Ireland began in 1978, with the purchase of a farm in the West Cork countryside, near Kinsale. Today, that site has grown to a vast high-technology manufacturing campus that employs over 900 people and uses complex chemical synthesis and biotechnology manufacturing processes to make active ingredients for Lilly medicines. These active ingredients are further processed at drug product manufacturing plants into medicines for use in therapeutic areas such as oncology, immunology, diabetes and pain. The site is also involved in process development and process optimisation across both manufacturing platforms. The campus is situated about twenty miles west of Cork city in a countryside location between Kinsale and Innishannon. It’s not just the location that sets the Kinsale site apart, it’s the work that we do here and the team that does it are what really make Lilly Kinsale a special place. Uniquely in the biopharmaceutical industry in Ireland, the Lilly campus accommodates chemical synthesis, biotechnology and continuous manufacturing technologies - all inside one site boundary."
