Leixlip is home to a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility and the Movidius Engineering team.
Intel Ireland's Leixlip campus, located in County Kildare, began operations in 1989. Since then, Intel has invested $15 billion in turning the 360-acre former stud farm into one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing locations in Europe. This is the largest private investment ever made in the history of the Irish State. Today, more than 4,500 people work at the campus in Leixlip.
The Leixlip campus is home to a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility which, in recent years, has undergone an upgrade project that has enabled the site to be a key location for production of Intel’s 14nm process technology. The leading-edge silicon microprocessors which are manufactured in Ireland are at the heart of a variety of platforms and technology advancements which are essential to the way we learn, live, and work today.
In our complex manufacturing environment at our Leixlip campus, the number one priority is always safety and leading the way on our world class safety standard is our site Emergency Response Team (ERT). Find out more about our ERT Team.
The ERT team is led by David Neville who is the Emergency Manager at Intel Ireland.
Father and Son, Michael and Adam Newe are both volunteer members of Intel’s Emergency Response Team.
Myles Devine now an ERT Leader, joined the Intel Leixlip ERT team 20 years ago.
Joanna Cahill joined Intel’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) almost 7 years ago after becoming a Group Leader on the shift ‘D’ work pattern.
Richard Durkin explains how invaluable the ERT training is, inside and outside the workplace.
As part of the Leader video series we will bring you candid chats with some of Intel Ireland’s business leaders as we find out everything, from what they wanted to be when they grew up to their favourite pastimes.
