Westport firm's partnership will deliver 10 new jobs

TEAM Horizon, a leading provider of technical services to the life sciences sector supporting both the pharma and bio-pharma manufacturing industry, has today announced its partnership for the Irish and UK market with ROMMELAG, a key player in the global blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology market.

This partnership is part of an overall investment by Team Horizon in the Mayo region and will lead to the creation of 10 jobs over the next 12 months.
