AN IRISH tech company, with a base in Limerick, is set to merge with multinational company NNIT.
SL Controls, which has a base in Castletroy, is to amalgamate with NNIT as the company makes Ireland its ‘smart factory’ base.
Former SL Controls CEO Keith Moran will head up NNIT’s smart factory and supply chain solutions, while the former senior leadership team from SL Controls will be assuming responsibility for NNIT’s smart factory operations.
All SL Controls staff in Limerick, as well as in Sligo, Dublin, and Galway will remain in place, the company confirmed, as well as the company’s staff in Florida.
The Irish company was acquired by NNIT in 2021, but the decision to merge the companies will see SL Controls staff have the opportunity to work on major global projects.
Keith Moran, CEO of SL Controls, said that the merger will further enhance the company’s offerings.
“We are very excited about the international role we will be playing
in the NNIT Group and how this change will further enhance our service offering to meet our current clients’ global requirements while also giving us access to larger-scale global projects across the European market.
“It is an excellent progression for the company and for all the people working in it. We are delighted to be fully integrating with a company that shares our vision of excellence in service delivery in the life sciences industry,” Mr Moran explained.
“It also gives our team wider career options both in Ireland and across Europe and will give them access to work on major global projects,” he added.
Ricco Larsen, Senior Vice President, Region Europe, at NNIT, said that the company “are thrilled to be joining forces with the SL Controls team, bringing deep expertise within the Smart Factory solutions area to our manufacturing and supply chain domain”.
