OpenJaw Technologies has today announced plans to double its global workforce from 230 to 450 employees in the next three years with at least 50 of the jobs being located at the company’s offices in Dublin and Galway. 
 
OpenJaw delivers eCommerce Technology to the travel brands around the World and helps them to become online retailers using OpenJaw’s specialist software. 

The company is headquartered in Dublin on Ormond Quay and following its acquisition by TravelSky last year, OpenJaw became the only travel tech company to have unique and proprietary access to the Chinese market. OpenJaw’s software also facilitates many of the world’s leading customer loyalty programmes.
 
The jobs announcement was made at OpenJaw’s travel retailing summit at Dublin’s Mansion House, a two day event attended by executives from the world’s leading airlines and travel companies, IDA Ireland, the Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Dr. Yue Xiaoyong, Larry Liang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OpenJaw and General Manager of TravelSky R&D Division as well as other industry experts in travel retailing and technology.  
 
Speaking at the event, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O’Connor said, "It is a tremendous achievement to be doubling your global workforce so soon after your acquisition by TravelSky last year and I particularly welcome the additional 50 jobs being created in Dublin and Galway as part of the global expansion. It is a huge endorsement of your product that 30 global travel companies have already become customers. I wish you every success with your expansion both here and In China and I look forward to watching you grow in the coming years."
