The Galway-based company delivers high-performance battery solutions for a wide range of applications, from mining and construction equipment to marine and aviation vehicles, all with a focus on sustainability and efficiency.

The new roles include various technical and support roles, such as engineering, production, sales and marketing, research and development, quality assurance, machine build and design, supply chain, and testing. The firm is aiming for all positions to be filled before the end of next year.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar commented on the news, saying: “Xerotech is one of the most innovative and interesting Irish companies I have engaged with. Batteries are going to be a big part of our post-fossil fuels future and it’s extra-ordinary how advanced these technologies now are. It’s great that it’s happening in the West of Ireland.

“This follows on from the company’s recent hiring for over 50 new positions, and highlights how Irish companies continue to successfully compete in global markets.

“It is a testament to the resilience of the Irish technology and manufacturing sectors and is very positive news for the West of Ireland.”

Dr. Barry Flannery, CEO of Xerotech, said: "We are excited to be expanding our team as we continue to develop new and innovative solutions for our customers.

“Our battery systems are helping to drive the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future, and we are looking for talented and passionate individuals to join us in this mission."
