  • Investing in Science and Innovation

    We pursue new ways to do science using tools like AI, generative biology and human data to discover what is not yet known and develop new precision medicines to fight the world’s toughest diseases.

  • Making Medicines Reliably

    Many of Amgen's medicines are made through a highly complex process involving living cells. Our commitment is to deliver for "every patient, every time", and we have a long-running reputation for the reliability of our supply chain.

  • Operating Responsibly

    Making a positive difference in the world is at the heart of what we do at Amgen — and it goes beyond making vital medicines. We also help build a better world by focusing on environmental, social and governance issues that matter most to our business and our stakeholders.

Dún Laoghaire

In 2011, we acquired a manufacturing facility in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin and undertook a significant expansion programme at the site with a total investment of $1 billion.

The 32-acre facility specialises in formulation, aseptic drug product filling, lyophilisation, packaging as well as analytical testing using on-site laboratories. The site also has cold chain and ambient warehouses. The facility can lyophilize 100,000 vials at a time and fill 25,000 syringes per hour.

We export the products manufactured at our Dún Laoghaire facility to over 50 countries. The site is Amgen’s largest manufacturing facility outside the US.

Our Waterford facility is our newest manufacturing plant in Ireland, which we acquired in 2023 following our acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics.

The facility is focused on drug product development and clinical and commercial manufacturing for Amgen’s rare disease business unit. The Waterford site is a flexible, multi-format, single-use facility supported by quality control and process development capabilities.
