Blancco Technology Group has formally unveiled new, state-of-the-art Cork City Centre based offices in Lapp’s Quay. The opening event was attended by Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, who cut the ribbon, recognizing Blancco Ireland’s continued investment in the region through the creation of this new site with capacity for up to 34 employees.
IDA Ireland has supported Blancco to make these new offices a centre of excellence for R&D as well as a strategic hub for Blancco, globally. Over the next three to four years, Blancco will invest several million euros in R&D, job creation and skills training. Blancco has a hybrid working arrangement in place across all its locations. It has plans to continue to add roles at its Cork site, with some currently in the process of being filled.
Blancco provides organizations with secure, compliant, and automated solutions that deliver best practice data erasure and management while accelerating the transition to the circular economy. Each year, tens of millions of Blancco erasures allow top-tier organisations to protect end-of-life data against unauthorised access, safely redeploy data storage assets, and firmly comply with increased data protection and privacy requirements.
Welcoming the new expansion, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said, "This is exciting news for Cork and for Ireland. The new Blancco hub in Lapp’s Quay will bring new employment to local citizens, and it further reinstates Cork’s competitive position in attracting investment from leading, global technology businesses at the forefront of innovation. I am delighted that Blancco has chosen Cork for its new premises, as part of its global expansion."
CFO at Blancco, Adam Moloney added, "This represents a significant milestone for the Blancco Group. We’re investing heavily in our operations in Ireland, and it will be a key strategic hub as we accelerate our international expansion. With this launch we look forward to adding new members to our growing business, but this opening event is also an opportunity for us to celebrate the hard work of our outstanding Blancco Ireland team."
