What We Do
Siemens Healthineers has been active in Swords supplying medical diagnostic equipment to hospitals and laboratories since 1966.
The site manufactures haematology and immunoassay analysers. These products use advanced technologies including laser optics, mechatronics, robotics and bio-chemistry processes to diagnose multiple health conditions from a single blood sample.
In addition to manufacturing, Swords employees support the continuous innovation of current and new products and the development of laboratory automation software, exported to more than 50 countries.
Our culture of high performance blends seamlessly with a care for those we work with, the customers that rely on us and the community and environment that we share.
