View answerThe firm in question announced its intention to establish a European headquarters, manufacturing and operations centre in Newcastle West in 2016. The company – a biomaterial and polymer technology firm which serves the life sciences industry – has indicated that this project will create up to 110 skilled engineering and science jobs in the region over the next several years.
