The trade agreement between Randox Teoranta and Central de Diagnostica e Industria, is being signed at the Palacio Nacional, the headquarters of Mexico’s executive government, and will be witnessed by the Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto and President Michael D Higgins.
The jobs are being created at Randox in Dungloe.
The new trade agreement between Randox and Central de Diagnostica e Industria will result in Randox pioneering laboratory products being delivered to clinics and hospitals across Mexico over the next two years.
The Mexican company is creating 85 positions.
Dr Peter FitzGerald, managing director of Randox Teoranta said the new trade agreement was a matter of “great pride” for the firm.
“We are honoured to have both presidents witness this new trade agreement and of course we are honoured to be working with Mexico.
“Of course, it is not just about economic growth and job creation, most important to us is the fact that our technology, researched and developed in Ireland, will contribute to earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment and better outcomes for patients in Mexico, as well as reducing the burden on the country’s health service.”
