EI Electronics has announced plans for an anniversary open day to be held on September 17 to celebrate 60 years of manufacturing in Shannon and 35 years as an Irish Company.
The day involves an invitation to all employees – past and present – their families, customers, suppliers, members of the local community, local schools, and the public at large to come together and celebrate EI’s milestone anniversaries.
There will also be a tented village with BBQ refreshments, fun for the kids, and live entertainment throughout the afternoon.
Over half a century ago, in 1963, General Electric (USA) established a fledgling Irish manufacturing operation in Shannon – the Ei or ‘Emerald Isle’ Company as it was originally known. 25 years later in 1988, following a management buyout of GE’s Irish interests in Shannon, Ei Electronics as we know it today was born.
The Open Day will provide a unique opportunity for a behind scenes view of the largest employer in Shannon, with over 1,100 local employees and exports to 30 countries worldwide. Ei also welcomes any potential candidates to come along on the day and see what career opportunities are on offer.
