Intel today marked its 20th anniversary in Ireland. From humble origins in the corner of a used car showroom to a sophisticated technology campus with over 4,000 workers the chip giant has spend some €6bn on the operation.
Intel located its technology campus in Ireland in 1989 and the production of motherboards and systems began the following year. Since then, over €6.0 billion has been invested in the 360 acre former stud farm, turning it into the most technologically advanced industrial locations in Europe and one of Intel’s largest manufacturing sites.
