EMC

Cork City is the international gateway to the southwestregion of Ireland. As the main economic driver in the region, Cork City's influence is felt in the surrounding hinterland and has led to the development of Metropolitan Cork - the greater city area encompassing a numner of satellite towns. The current population of this Metropolitan Cork area is 257,000 and is projected to increase to 320,000 by 2020.

" Motorola has been based in Cork for 23 years and has seen it grow and develop into the modern competitive city it is today.

Cork has a tremendous infrastructure and exceptional schools and colleges. It is a business orientated city with further development plans that will enhance its position even more as a place to do business. We are proud to be in Cork.....you will be too!"

Motorola is located in two of Cork's prime business parks. These are : a Motorola SPS (Semiconductor Products Sector) operation at Cork Airport Business Park and a Motorola GTSS (Global Telecom Solutions Sector) operation at Mahon Industrial Estate.
