Metrology player announces physical presence in Ireland

Industrial metrology player, The Sempre Group, now has a physical presence in Ireland.

As part of the expansion, medtech metrology specialist Jason McGlynn joins the team as commercial manager. Based in Dublin, he will establish a new Irish Technology Centre and will provide local support to customers across Ireland.

Jason McGlynn has over seven years’ experience in high-volume medical device manufacturing, having worked across the entire product lifecycle, from concept, to introduction, to sustaining operations. He has particular expertise in co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), gauging and CT scanning, as well as experience working to ISO 13485.

McGlynn said: “While there are a number of businesses offering metrology products across Ireland, it can be difficult for medical device companies to access a support service, particularly one that works throughout the entire life cycle of a product. The medical device lifecycle could already be several years long and, if a company cannot access metrology support for breakdowns or calibration, it can result project delays and increased costs.

“The Sempre Group will now establish itself as a go-to support service across the entire metrology portfolio — both products and services. We have the expertise and experience required to solve any metrology problem for our medical device customers from design, to manufacturing, to development to commercialisation.”

Mike John, managing director of The Sempre Group, added: “Ireland is one of the largest exporters of medical devices in Europe, with annual exports of €12.6 billion a year. We have been dedicated to delivering quality metrology solutions and services to customers throughout Ireland for many years, and, to further this thriving market, we are now investing significantly in our Irish operations.”
