DPS Engineering is marking 40 years of success with the creation of 80 new jobs in 2015.

One of Ireland’s leading engineering groups is to mark 40 years of success with the creation of 80 new jobs in 2015, having increased its turnover by 35% and its workforce by 50% in the past three years alone.

DPS Engineering, a wholly owned Irish company, recently experienced further growth on a global scale, with the acquisition of two American firms: Biometics in Boston, Massachusetts and Project Planning and Delivery (PPD) in Durham, North Carolina, as well as the opening of an office in Mechelen, Belgium.

With turnover having increased from €55,000,000 in 2012 to a projected €75,000,000 in 2014, and the workforce going from 530 to 810 in the same time period, the company is set to expand further in the next number of years. Of the 80 jobs forecast for 2015, more than 50 will be in Cork and Dublin, with the remainder in mainland Europe. DPS has been supported by the Department of Jobs through Enterprise Ireland.

Managing Director of DPS Engineering Frank Keogh said, based on significant recent wins in mainland Europe focused on advanced technology, DPS expect to be employing 900 people by the end of 2015.

Wishing DPS every success with the project, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton said the announcement, fuelled by rapid export growth, is 'a great example of what we are trying to achieve'.

DPS Engineering is to mark its 40 years of success with an event at the RDS, Dublin, on November 26th, 2014.
