Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics today announced a major expansion of its manufacturing and distribution operations at its Llanberis, North Wales facility that is expected to create approximately 150 to 200 new jobs over the next two years, adding to its current staff of over 300 people.
“We plan to double our production capability by hiring new employees and adding highly-automated equipment without expanding the footprint of the facility” explains Steve Britton (OBE), Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Managing Director.

In 1998 the company won the prestigious Queens Award for Export Achievement and in 2004 the Daily Post Achievement Wales Business Award. The plant manufactures and distributes IMMULITE® reagents used on blood analysers in hospitals and clinics worldwide to aid in the diagnosis of medical conditions.
