Cameron

Cameron is a leading provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to worldwide oil, gas and process industries. The company has more than 16,000 employees operating from 250 locations worldwide.

Cameron Ireland Ltd. established in Longford Town in 1978 and since then has continued to grow. The operation, employing over 240 people, has specific responsibility for the manufacture of sub-sea chokes and actuators for the oil and gas exploration markets. The products are used in drilling operations to regulate the flow of oil and gas both at sub-sea level and underneath the surface.

Initially, Cameron manufactured these products for the North Sea oilfield. Over the years the operation has grown to include functions such as a Research and Development Centre and has extended its mandate to cover Europe, Asia/Pacific and Middle East markets.

In 2004 Cameron added an R&D centre resulting in the development of a Chemical Injection Metering Valve which is now in production in Longford.

Cameron then announced a €15 million investment to develop and expand existing manufacturing and R&D facilities with the creation of 140 high quality jobs in engineering and support activities.
